AI Quoting App for Builders UK | Zipflow — Generate Quotes in 10 Seconds

Q: How does an AI quoting app work for electricians?

Zipflow uses AI to listen to or read your job description, automatically detect the electrical tasks involved, ask a few clarifying questions about scope and materials, then generate a fully itemised quote in under 10 seconds. You can then send it directly to the customer via email or WhatsApp from your phone.

How it works

No training, no setup, no spreadsheets. Works on your iPhone or Android on site.

Why UK builders are switching to AI quoting

Builders face a quoting challenge that most trades don't — the sheer complexity and variety of work means quotes take longer to put together. An extension quote that used to take two hours of evening work can now be generated on site in under a minute.

Winning building jobs is increasingly about speed and professionalism. A detailed, itemised quote sent the same day as the survey beats a ballpark figure sent three days later almost every time. Zipflow helps you quote fast without cutting corners on accuracy.

Zipflow understands the language of building work. It detects the difference between a single storey and double storey extension, knows when to ask about structural elements and steelwork, and handles everything from blockwork to render to roofing.

Building jobs Zipflow handles automatically

Zipflow detects over 200 specific building task types. Common jobs include:

Single storey extension Double storey extension Loft conversion Garage conversion Kitchen installation Bathroom refit Conservatory Flat roof replacement Pitched roof Repointing Rendering Porch build Garden room Outbuilding Partition wall RSJ installation Wall removal Damp proof course Underpinning Block paving Concrete slab Steps and paths Garden wall Insulation

Built for sole trader builders and small contractors

Zipflow is built for the builder who handles multiple quotes a week across a wide variety of work. Whether you specialise in extensions, renovations, or groundworks, Zipflow adapts to what you describe and generates a quote that reflects the actual job.
