The domestic QS Quoter is built for a builder pricing their own jobs. High volume with steady accuracy is a different problem. We install a commercial version inside your firm: calibrated to your rates, your materials and your suppliers, connected to the systems your team already uses, and supported until it is provably paying for itself.
- The engine behind a live, earning product
- Success fee tied to value tracked in your CRM
Estimating is the bottleneck you can actually move.
Rough industry averages, plainly labelled as such: a typical SME contractor carries roughly one estimator for every ten to fifteen site operatives, and by hand each one prices only a handful of tenders a week. Win rate aside, the number of jobs you can even bid is capped by that arithmetic.
Estimators a firm typically carries
Rough industry shape by headcount. Your discovery call maps your real numbers.
What each estimator can price
Tenders per week: by hand versus the modelled range with the engine doing the take-off and arithmetic.
Read it the other way round and it is the same story: the capacity of three or four hand estimators, from the team you already have. These are rough averages and a modelled range, stated as exactly that. The first thing we do in discovery is replace them with your real baseline, and the value tracking in your CRM holds us to whatever we then promise.
The domestic tool is brilliant for one builder. It is not built for your volume.
We would rather tell you that on the first page than after you have signed up. Here is the difference, plainly.
One builder, a handful of quotes a month
- A calibrated national rate book, adjusted with your own day rates and margin.
- The builder's own judgement is the final check on every quote.
- Perfect for extensions, lofts and refurbs priced one at a time.
- Off-the-shelf. Nothing to install, nothing to integrate.
An estimating team, quoting every day
- A rate book calibrated to your actual cost base: your suppliers, your labour, your regions, your materials.
- Volume needs consistency. We build the checks, dashboards and reporting that keep accuracy steady at scale.
- Integrated with your CRM, email, accounting and project management, so quotes flow through one connected workflow.
- Installed, piloted, trained and optimised inside your business, with us accountable for the result.
Proof you can inspect, not borrowed faces.
We are early, and we will not decorate this page with stock photos pretending to be customers. Here is what is real today, and every claim on it can be checked.
We run our own business on the same principle we sell: our outreach, content and operations run on automation we built and live with daily. When we install a system in your firm, it is the trade we practise on ourselves first, not a service we resell.
We automate ourselves firstThe same engine already runs the live QS Quoter product: 705 full quote scenarios and 42,317 invariant checks on every release, every document reconciled to the penny, deterministic totals. Your installation starts from proven machinery, not a prototype.
Every release gated on the harnessAs founding commercial clients go live, their agreed, attributable results will replace this section. If a testimonial ever appears here, it will be real, named and checkable.
Not a login. A working system.
Your own rate book
We calibrate the pricing engine to your real costs: day rates by trade, material prices from your suppliers, your regions and your margin policy. Two firms never get the same numbers, because they do not have the same costs.
One connected workflow
CRM, email, accounting, project management, internal databases and third-party software reviewed and wired together, so a quote is not an island. Enquiry in, priced quote out, tracked all the way.
Dashboards and oversight
Management reporting, user permissions and dashboards built in, so you can see volume, accuracy, win rate and the value being created without asking anyone for a spreadsheet.
Training and adoption
Your team trained on daily use, best practice and reporting before go-live. Software nobody uses creates no value, so adoption is treated as part of the build, not an afterthought.
A piloted go-live
Nothing goes live on faith. Week four is a measured pilot: performance, accuracy, reliability and user experience checked against the success criteria we agreed in discovery.
Optimisation, not abandonment
A structured review at month three: ROI, adoption, bottlenecks and the next opportunities. The goal is a long-term technology partner, not a handover email.
One engine, wired into the systems you already run
Week three of the install reviews and connects each of these, so a quote is never an island.
From first call to full deployment, step by step.
The same process installs QS Quoter Commercial or any other major automation inside your business. No mystery, no scope creep: every stage has a goal and a deliverable.
The build at a glance
An optimistic timeline; if your integrations need longer, you hear it in the proposal, not after.
Discovery call
Goal: understand the business and uncover problems worth solving.
We map what your business does, how the team is structured, your current processes, software stack and workflows, and where the bottlenecks, repetitive manual tasks and operational frustrations actually sit. We also cover growth and hiring plans, risks, desired outcomes and where automation, AI and integration could create value.
Analysis and business case
Goal: put numbers on it.
Using your internal metrics and measurements, we calculate the time savings, cost savings, capacity gains and revenue opportunities on the table, so the decision is made on figures, not vibes.
Solution, proposal and close
Goal: agree the destination, then secure the project.
We present your current state, the inefficiencies we found, the recommended solution and the expected outcomes: time saved, capacity created, revenue generated and costs avoided. Then the scope of work, deliverables, timeline, support and pricing, and straight answers to why now, why this solution and why this investment.
Onboarding
Goal: prepare for delivery.
Access requirements, team contacts, existing systems and processes, assets, documentation and the success criteria the pilot will be judged against.
Outcome: a complete implementation planBuild and configuration
Goal: create the solution.
System setup, workflow creation, automation setup, AI implementation, dashboard creation, user permissions and reporting.
Outcome: a working solution ready for testingIntegration
Goal: connect your existing systems.
CRM, email, accounting, project management, internal databases and third-party software reviewed and connected.
Outcome: a single connected workflowTesting, pilot and training
Goal: validate before relying on it, and drive adoption.
Performance, accuracy, reliability, user experience and business impact checked against the success criteria. Your team trained on daily use, best practices, processes, reporting and management oversight.
Outcome: proof the solution works, and a confident team. Month one completeGo live
Goal: full deployment.
Usage, adoption, issues and results monitored daily as the whole team moves onto the system.
Outcome: solution fully operationalOptimisation review
Goal: improve results.
Performance, ROI, adoption and bottlenecks reviewed, and the next opportunities identified.
Outcome: continuous improvementExpansion
Goal: grow what is working.
Additional departments, automations, AI tools, workflows and integrations, identified from what the first project proved.
Outcome: a long-term technology partner, not a one-off projectPriced on scope. Paid on results.
Covers discovery, the business case, build, configuration, integration, testing, pilot and training. The exact figure depends on the size of your team, the systems we are connecting and the depth of calibration, and is fixed in the proposal before you sign anything.
Measured the way we agree in discovery: time saved, capacity created, revenue generated or costs avoided, tracked transparently in your own CRM where you can audit every figure. If the system creates nothing, this part costs nothing.
Sixty minutes with the co-founder. No pitch until there are numbers.
Your call is directly with Samuel Wall, co-founder of AGMM, not a sales team. Because we only want to talk to decision makers, and because your time and his are both worth protecting, booking carries a £200 fully refundable deposit.
- You attend, we are not a fitRefunded in full, no questions. You keep the analysis.
- You attend and go aheadThe £200 is credited straight to your implementation.
- You do not show upThe deposit is retained. It filters out tyre-kickers, which is why the call gets the co-founder.
Payment is taken securely by Stripe when you book. Either way, attending costs you nothing.
- You talk, we map. The first call is about your business: processes, stack, bottlenecks and goals.
- Numbers before proposals. You get a quantified business case within a week of the call.
- Walk away freely. If the numbers do not justify the project, we will say so, refund the deposit and you keep the analysis.
Before you book.
Why not just use the domestic QS Quoter at volume?
The domestic tool is built for a builder pricing their own jobs, a handful a month, with their own judgement as the final check. High volume with steady accuracy is a different problem: it needs a rate book calibrated to your actual cost base, your suppliers and your regions, connected to the systems your team already works in, with checks and reporting that hold accuracy steady when nobody has time to babysit it. That is what the commercial installation is for.
Where does the three to five times figure come from?
It is a modelled range, stated as exactly that on this page, not a measured client statistic. The engine removes the take-off and pricing arithmetic that consumes most of an estimator's day, leaving review and judgement. In discovery we baseline your current volume per estimator, agree the target, and the value tracking in your CRM holds us to it.
What does the 10 percent of value created mean, exactly?
During discovery we agree, with you, how value will be measured: time saved, capacity created, revenue won or costs avoided. Those measurements are tracked in your own CRM, where you can audit every figure, and our success fee is 10 percent of that tracked value. If the system creates nothing, the success fee is nothing.
How long until we are live?
An optimistic build runs about a month: onboarding in week one, build in week two, integration in week three, testing, pilot and training in week four, then go-live in month two. Complex integrations can extend that, and if they will, you hear it in the proposal, not after.
Is this only for estimating, or only for construction?
Estimating is usually the highest-value place to start in a construction business, but the same discovery, build, integration and pilot process installs any major automation: lead handling, quoting, job management, reporting or back-office workflows.
What do you need from us?
Sixty minutes of honesty on the discovery call, then in week one: access requirements, team contacts, your existing systems and processes, and agreement on the success criteria. We handle the rest.

One call, one quantified business case. Then you decide.
