“BuildPilot delivered a full NRM2 estimate for our Putney project in under 4 hours. It caught scope gaps our site manager missed and came within 3% of the final build cost.”
“We had a loft conversion tender due on Thursday. BuildPilot had the NRM2 cost plan in my inbox by Wednesday morning. Saved us from pulling an all-nighter.”
“The scope gap flags are what sold it for me. It caught that we hadn’t priced drainage on a basement extension. That’s easily £15k we’d have lost.”
“Used BuildPilot to reprice a variation mid-project. Had the updated NRM2 section in 2 hours — would have taken our QS two days and a day rate.”
