For builders

Quoting app for builders.Win the job before the next builder sends a PDF.

Short answer

Upheld is a quoting app for UK builders. You talk the job through on site, it builds a priced quote from your own materials list, markup and day rates, and your customer receives a short branded video quote with the written quotation, an accept button and a deposit link. It then tells you who has watched it and when to ring.

Quotes eat your evenings

An extension or a refurb quote can take a whole evening to write, after a full day on site. The longer it takes, the more likely someone else got there first.

Three builders, three totals

Your customer gets three PDFs that look the same and picks on price. Nothing in yours shows the thought you put into the job.

Silence after you send it

You do not know if they opened it, read it with their partner, or forgot it. So you either chase too early or not at all.

Why a video quote wins building work

Questions trades ask

Can I take a deposit on a big job?

Yes. Set the deposit on the quote. The customer sees it before they accept, and can pay it by card straight into your own Stripe account.

Can I use my own merchant prices?

Yes. Upload the price list from your merchant or your own price book and set your markup. Every quote is priced from it.

What if the customer wants changes?

They press Changes on the quote and tell you what they want. You send a new version on the same link, so there is one quote, not five emails.

Does my customer need to download anything?

No. They open one link in their phone's browser. No app, no account, no password.
