Blended cost: where an actual has been entered it replaces the estimate; every remaining line uses estimated cost. Coverage is the proportion of line items carrying real data. Low coverage (19.7%) means margins will shift as more actuals are entered.

Rows exceeding thresholds (>5% quantity or >3% cost) are highlighted. All costs are AUD ex GST.

Revision 03Commercial, issued 16 AUG by RD

What it actually cost tunes what you quote next.

Purchase orders come off the approved bill of materials, and back-costed actuals report against the estimate that raised them.

  • VarianceEstimate against actual across closed jobs, by SKU.
  • MarginReported per job and per module type.

Walkthrough

Learn the workflow before you run your first job.

Drive it yourself, one step at a time: next, back, skip, restart. No account, no card, nothing metered.

You drive this one

Loading the product walkthrough.

Every figure in the walkthrough is example data, a training job of its own, separate from the sandbox's seeded record.

Also on the platform

The parts you need to find, not watch.

Workspace, billing and the audit trail underneath everything above.

Workspace, team and audit

LIVE

One workspace per company. Invite estimators into it, give them a role, and keep every job in the same place instead of across four spreadsheets and someone’s inbox, with a record of who changed what.

  • Company workspace with invited users and roles
  • Centralised jobs: plans, inputs, BOMs and quotes on one record
  • Before-and-after values on every recorded change
  • Attributed to a named user, not an opaque identifier
  • Client name, site address and job inputs held against the job
  • Export your jobs and bills of materials at any time

Credits and billing

LIVE

Usage is metered in credits and credits are prepaid. You buy a pack before you use it, scanning a plan draws it down, and nothing is billed to you afterwards for usage you have already had.

  • Prepaid credit packs, priced in Australian dollars
  • One balance for the whole workspace: the team draws from it
  • Balance, statement and request history on the credits screen
  • Packs requested from the credits screen, confirmed by QuoteSmiths, invoiced by email

Automatic back-cost tuning

PLANNED

Waste factors are informed by actuals today. Applying that delta to the next take-off automatically, with a per-SKU override, is still to come. The product marks it as pending close-out automation.

Cashflow and cost-of-sales reporting

PLANNED

Projected against invoiced across pipeline jobs, and a material, labour and freight breakdown per build. Both are pending integrations that are not finished, so neither is switched on.

General API and webhooks

PLANNED

Xero export exists today. Programmatic access to jobs, bills of materials and quotes, with webhooks for downstream systems, is not built yet, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise.

How the parts connect

Six stages, one job record: each one handing the next something it can check.

TERMS · SECTION 5

Every number tells you where it came from.

A QuoteSmiths bill of materials is an estimate. It is produced from what the scanner could read off your drawing and from the rules and prices in your catalogue, so the product shows its working, and asks you to check it against the plans, current supplier pricing, the National Construction Code and the relevant Australian Standards before you order material or price a contract.

QuoteSmiths is a tool. It is not a substitute for a qualified estimator, engineer, building certifier or licensed builder.

Calculation basis
Calc qty191.25 m²

Total qty210.38 m²

The 10% is the waste rule recorded against this item in your catalogue, not a figure the model chose.

Who it is for

Built for the person doing the take-off.

The same engine underneath, whatever the shape of the business around it. Where you land depends on how many people touch a job, and how far past the estimate you go.

Plan-set figures are approximate and assume 8 pages a set, typical for a single-storey plan. Prices in AUD, excluding GST.

There is no card checkout yet: packs are requested from the credits screen inside the workspace, QuoteSmiths confirms the request, the credits are added for the whole team to draw on, and a tax invoice follows by email.

One workspace balance
Everyone on the team draws from the same credit pool.
Metered AI actions
Only the four actions that call a paid AI model spend credits. The schedule below prices all four.
How credits work

The whole model, in five lines.

01

Where credits live

In one balance for the whole workspace. A pack is a one-off top-up into that balance, and everyone you invite draws from it: bought once, spent by whoever is doing the work.

02

How long they last

They never expire. Buy once. Unused credits stay in the workspace, however long the gap between jobs.

03

What renews

Nothing. There is no subscription, nothing recurring and nothing to cancel. The balance only moves when work draws it down or you top it up.

04

What costs credits

Only the four things that call a paid AI model. Nothing else is metered.

ActionCredits
Scanning a blueprint

Asking the AI assistant a question

Running a playbook
2
Reading a supplier price list

05

What costs nothing

The workflow itself. Charging for a re-run would make you think twice about correcting an estimate, so none of this is metered:

  • Running the take-off
  • Re-running it after an override
  • Editing inputs
  • Pricing
  • Comparing versions
  • Exporting
  • Raising purchase orders
  • Back-costing

Work that fails is never charged for: a scan that produced no pages, an assistant answer that never arrived, a playbook that stopped short.

DATUM · A credit is a fixed unit of work: an eight-page plan is 8 credits to scan, so you can always work a job out in your head.

Questions

The things worth asking first.

6 of 14 questions

The other 8 cover credits and packs in detail, your team and your suppliers, and the catalogue setup we can do for you. Read all questions

Anything not answered here is quicker to see running than to read, and anything still missing is a question worth sending to support@loopsmiths.com. Try the demo

  • No, and that is the point. Quantities come from explicit formulas against your inputs. The AI reads plans, flags quantities that look wrong against the rest of the job, and suggests things you may have missed, but it is never the thing that decides a number, so every figure traces back to a rule you can read.

  • Credits meter the four things that call a paid AI model, and nothing else. Scanning a plan costs one credit per page, asking the assistant a question costs one, and running a playbook or pulling a supplier price list into your catalogue costs two. Running a take-off, re-running it after an override, editing inputs, pricing, comparing versions, exporting, raising purchase orders and back-costing all cost nothing. Charging for those would make you think twice about correcting an estimate. Work that fails is never charged for: a scan that produced no pages, an assistant answer that never arrived, a playbook that stopped short. Credits are prepaid and never expire: the whole workspace draws on one balance, unused credits stay in the workspace, and credits are not transferable between workspaces.

  • No. The trial gives you 25 credits with the full engine and every export, and takes no card. Credit packs are one-off with no subscription attached and nothing recurring to cancel, and credits never expire. Buy one when the work calls for it, and the balance waits for you between jobs.

  • Yes, as a one-off service. Send us what your suppliers send you, price lists, quotes, spreadsheets, a PDF or a photograph of a quote, and we build your SKU catalogue and supplier register inside your workspace: items loaded and de-duplicated, suppliers set up with their terms, and the whole thing checked against your own pricing before you touch it. A$200 plus GST, one-off, covering up to 500 SKUs and 20 suppliers, and the credits the reading uses are on us. More than that, or data that arrives in a difficult state, and we quote you first. You can also do all of this yourself: the catalogue reader is in the product and a supplier price list costs two credits, so what you are paying for here is the gathering, the tidying and the checking rather than anything the software cannot do. To arrange it, email support@loopsmiths.com, or start a workspace first, which takes no card.

  • It is an estimate and you must verify it. Check it against the plans, against current supplier pricing, and against the National Construction Code and the relevant Australian Standards before you order material, submit a price or enter a contract. QuoteSmiths is a tool, not a substitute for a qualified estimator, engineer, certifier or licensed builder.

  • You keep ownership of them. Each page is rendered to an image and sent to the vision provider that reads the drawing, which means anything printed on the title block, including a client name and site address, goes with it. The Privacy Policy names every recipient and where they are.
