The End of the Undercut: How Rated People’s New Quote Checker Delivers Confidence (and Customers)

Every tradesperson knows the anxiety: you’ve put the hours in, measured twice, and factored in every material, but you still worry your price is either too high (losing the job) or too low (losing profit). In a market often driven by lowball bids, securing work at a fair rate can feel like a gamble.

Rated People is solving this problem. We are thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of Quote Checker for Tradespeople, a powerful new feature built to deliver confidence, professionalise your process, and help you land more work at the price you deserve. This tool is set to redefine your workflow within the broader construction estimating software UK landscape.

Why Every Tradesperson Should Check Their Quote

The Quote Checker is your competitive edge, transforming job quoting from a subjective guess into a data-driven process. It is a vital asset for any professional aiming for consistent construction business growth. Here is why you should start checking every bid you send:

1. Optimise Your Profit Margins

Get an objective, professional assessment of your pricing against real-world UK data. This ensures you:

Stop Undercutting Yourself: Identify where you’ve priced too low, allowing you to confidently capture the full value of your skill.
Master How to Price a Job: Gain an instant understanding of how your rates compare to current market trends, ensuring your bid is both competitive and profitable.

2. Drive Industry Standards

By using this tool, you are actively contributing to a fairer marketplace. While many standard digital tools act as simple calculators, this feature helps the whole industry:

Train Our AI: Every quote you upload helps train our proprietary engine, improving the quality of feedback for the entire community.
Empower Homeowners: Clear, professionally validated pricing allows homeowners to compare value, not just cost, ultimately rewarding quality workmanship over the cheapest option.

How the Quote Checker Works

We know you need tools that are fast and easy to use. The Quote Checker sits right in your Tradesperson portal under its own dedicated tab, functioning like a streamlined contractor pricing app.

The 4-Step Process:

Upload Your Quote: After calculating your costs, simply upload the file. We accept digital formats: DOC or PDF.
Instant Analysis: Our engine processes the content in just a few seconds.
Get Your Quote Score: You receive a professional assessment with an overall percentage score. This is broken down by four key factors: Price Accuracy, Detail Quality, Professionalism, and Timeline Feasibility (each scored out of 10).
Stored Progress: All your results are kept in your private quote scoring portal, allowing you to see your professionalism grow over time.
