BillyBot vs BuildEstimate

BillyBot — AI Operator for Flooring Businesses BillyBot runs the back office so you can focus on the work. From first enquiry to signed RAMS documents, BillyBot handles quoting, job management, scheduling, and compliance — all from your phone. AI-Powered Quoting Upload handwritten notes, site photos, job sheets, or floor plans and BillyBot builds an accurate, professional quote using your own pricing and supplier costs. AI calculates total m², adds all required items, and prevents underquoting. RAMS Signing Create Risk Assessments and Method Statements and send them directly to your operatives for finger-drawn signatures — no printing, no chasing, no scanning. Once signed, send the completed documents straight to your customer or main contractor. Job & Customer Management Keep every job, quote, email thread, and customer detail in one place. Search, filter, and stay on top of your pipeline from anywhere. Diary & Scheduling Schedule prep, fitting, and survey appointments and assign operatives. Your team sees only their jobs — no confusion, no crossed wires. Team Accounts Invite fitters, estimators, and managers as sub-accounts under your business. Each operative has their own login and sees exactly what they need to. Built for flooring contractors. Nothing generic. Nothing wasted.

BuildEstimate turns a job into a professional quote in minutes. It started as a tool for UK trades and now prices work in ten more European countries, in their own currency and under their own tax rules. CREATE ESTIMATES IN MINUTES Add labour, materials and other costs. VAT and markup are worked out for you. The PDF quote takes seconds. PRICED FOR WHERE THE JOB IS Type the town or postcode and the estimate switches to that country's currency and tax rules, including the reduced rates some countries allow on renovation work. It covers the UK, Ireland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Poland and Romania. You can change the country or currency yourself. AI JOB PLANNER Describe a job in plain words and get a full plan back: the work phases, the materials, the labour, and a low, mid and high cost. It checks current local prices online and shows you the sites it used. Import the lines straight into your estimate. AI DRAWING ANALYSER Upload floor plans or whole drawing sets, as images or PDFs, and get a costed list of materials and labour plus the regulations and certificates that apply. Large sheets are read in close-up sections, so small dimension text stays readable. Add drawings in batches and they build one running estimate. GET QUOTES APPROVED Email estimates to clients. They can approve and sign online, so there are no paper signatures to chase. CIS AND VAT REVERSE CHARGE UK construction invoices handle CIS and the VAT domestic reverse charge. Pick a CIS rate of 20%, 30% or 0% and the PDF shows the deduction and the amount payable, with the reverse charge wording, your UTR and your VAT number printed where they belong. TRACK PAYMENTS & EXPENSES Record part payments, track project expenses and see your profit margin on every job. Materials and other costs flow into your expenses dashboard automatically. VAT RETURN REPORT Your quarterly VAT breakdown, in seconds. It shows exactly how much VAT you've collected on accepted jobs.
