With more than 35 years in the building industry, Tony has run his own successful company, A and E Construction, and managed hundreds of real world projects.

He has also built a YouTube community of more than 100,000 followers, sharing honest, practical insights from his builds and helping thousands of people understand how a job really works.

After seeing how much time and money builders were losing through unclear or inaccurate quotes, Tony created TruTrade — a service built by builders, for builders.

Every estimate we deliver is created by people who understand the trade, the process, and the pressure of running a job.

It is all about helping builders save time, quote smarter, and win more of the work they price.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

How long does it take to receive my estimate?

Once you send through your drawings or job details, one of our estimators will get in touch within 24 hours to talk through your project. We’ll make sure we understand exactly what you need before putting your building estimate together – so you can trust the numbers when they land in your inbox.

What is a quote pack?

We know winning the job matters just as much as pricing it right. That’s why every TruTrade estimate comes with a personalised quote pack – a professional, ready-to-send document you can share with your client to help you secure the work. You can adjust your margins or job details before it’s finalised, so you’re always in control. It’s completely free and included with every estimate – designed to help you quote confidently and win more work.

Why should I choose TruTrade for my building estimates?

We know how frustrating it is to lose money on a job because the numbers weren’t right. That’s why TruTrade was built by people in the trade, for people in the trade. Unlike most construction estimating software that’s made by people who’ve never set foot on a site, our team of estimators understand the real pressures of quoting work, chasing prices, and protecting profit. Our building cost estimators use real UK pricing data and hands-on experience to create accurate construction estimates you can rely on – not rough figures that leave you guessing.

How do I price a job and quote to a client with TruTrade?

With TruTrade, you can price a project accurately and quote to a client with confidence. Simply send us your drawings, specs, or job details, and our team will prepare a detailed construction estimate based on real UK rates and trade knowledge. Your estimate will include a full breakdown of materials, labour, and costs – all explained in plain English.

Can TruTrade help with material takeoffs?

Yes. We provide material takeoff services as part of your estimate. That means you’ll know exactly how much of each material you need – from bricks and blocks to plaster and timber. No over-ordering, no costly surprises halfway through the job.

Is TruTrade suitable for UK builders and contractors?

Absolutely. TruTrade is made for the UK construction industry. All our costs, materials, and units are based on UK building standards, making us a trusted construction estimating service UK builders can depend on.

Can I get my building estimates online?

Yes, you can request and receive estimates online through our platform at TruTrade.co.uk. Simply upload your drawings or job details, and our team will prepare a detailed building estimate tailored to your project.

How accurate are TruTrade’s building cost estimates?

Accuracy is what we’re known for. Every construction estimate is reviewed by our in-house team of estimators and builders who understand how jobs actually run. We use real UK trade rates and current material prices, so you can trust your numbers before you start the job.

Can TruTrade help if I don’t have time to do my own estimating?

Yes. If you’re too busy on site to handle the paperwork, we can take care of it for you. Our estimating service team handles the hard part – giving you accurate, professional building estimates you can send straight to your client.
