EstiMate is quoting and job software for builders across Glasgow and the surrounding council areas, from Renfrewshire and Inverclyde to North and South Lanarkshire.
Price the work with materials and labour itemised, send a quote the client accepts online, and run the job through to the final invoice. The planning figures below come from the eight councils' registers and are refreshed about twice a day.

Source: the councils' public planning registers, collected by PlanIt and searched by TenderPilot. Checked 17 October 2026 at 15:02 and refreshed about twice a day. Building work leaves out trees, signs and paperwork on existing consents. Locations are shown to postcode district only, no applicant details are shown, and value bands are typical ranges for that kind of work rather than quotes.

Scotland
Postcode areas G, PA, ML: 3% below the national guide
When EstiMate Pro's AI take-off prices a job whose site postcode starts G, PA or ML, it multiplies its national labour day-rate guide by 0.97, the Scotland index, so labour comes out 3% below the national guide. If you set your own day rates in Settings, the AI prices labour from those instead and the index no longer applies.
Materials and labour itemised with your markup and margin, sent as a link the client can accept, decline or query on their phone, with optional extras they can tick.
A build contract generated from the accepted quote, with your payment terms, signed online. Variations are added as signed addenda.
Price additional works from site and send a one-tap approval link. The contract total and invoices update, with a full audit trail.
Invoices with card payment links, payment milestones from the quote, and automatic chasing when an invoice falls overdue.
Receipts, supplier invoices and bank imports land in one ledger: profit and loss for any period, a VAT return helper, the CIS register and aged debtors.
TenderPilot, the sister product, searches live tenders and every council's planning register. Searching is free on any plan.

From the public planning registers of the eight Glasgow City Region councils, collected by PlanIt, which gathers UK council registers into one search, and read by TenderPilot about twice a day. Councils publish at different speeds, so one that shows few decisions may simply be behind; its own planning portal has the full record.
