The joinery & woodwork stack

Six instruments, calibrated.

UK joinery — bespoke, kitchen, staircase, shopfit — quote from spec, BOM-driven cut list, finish schedule, install diary. Built for shops that quote on Monday and install on Friday.

01 · Quoting from spec

Spec sheet to priced quote, same morning.

Drop the spec, the drawing, the client brief. Materials, labour, finish — priced from live cost data. Quotes out the door before the next call.

  • Drawing-aware estimating
  • Custom Excel-killer, owned
02 · BOM + cut list

Cut list driven by the bill of materials.

BOM feeds the cut list, the cut list feeds the saw. Microvellum-friendly or custom — sheet optimisation, offcut tracking, waste held to a minimum.

Sample engagement

The fourteen-staff joinery that doubled win-rate.

Fourteen staff. 90 quotes a quarter. Spec sheets in email, costs in three spreadsheets.

A fourteen-staff bespoke joinery quoted from a heritage Excel that nobody fully understood. Spec sheets sat in inboxes for days while the estimator chased timber prices. Two-week build: a custom estimator hooked into live timber and hardware rates, BOM-driven cut list pushed to the saw, install diary on the foreman's tablet. Six months in: quote-to-confirm down from eight days to two, win-rate up thirty-one percent, forty-two thousand pounds of margin recovered.

How we measure: Quote-cycle timestamps pulled from the new estimator vs the prior CRM (n = 184 quotes); win-rate baseline from the two quarters before go-live; margin recovery reconciled against Xero job-costing reports at month 6.
