Three quotes for the same job. £75,000 apart. I had no idea which one to trust.

Rich, Founder
Built MyBuildAlly after his own extension

I managed my own extension in Hertfordshire. Three quotes for the same work, £75k apart. I had no idea which was fair. Drainage wasn't included. Insulation failed the building regs inspection. I was making a six-figure decision with basically no independent information, and that properly annoyed me.

I've spent 18 years in engineering and technology. RAF avionics, defence, robotics, government. Building products where getting the details wrong isn't an option. So I built MyBuildAlly: upload your quote and it pulls it apart line by line against real UK cost data. What's in range, what's high, what's missing entirely. It checks your plans against current building regulations so you know what to ask before you sign.

No fake reviews. No “trusted tradesman” directories. Just independent analysis to help you get the right work at the right price.

Frequently asked questions

What does MyBuildAlly do?

MyBuildAlly gives UK homeowners an independent second opinion on builder quotes. It checks price fairness against regional benchmarks, identifies scope gaps and missing trades, and flags potential compliance issues — so you can sign with confidence.

How does the quote analysis work?

Upload your builder's quote as a PDF, photo, or document. We read every line item, compare costs against professional benchmarks for your region, and flag anything that looks off: missing items, overcharges, or certification gaps. Full report in under a minute.

How much does MyBuildAlly cost?

The cost estimator is free forever. Upload your builder quotes and you get our verdict free. £10 unlocks the full report for one project: overcharges, scope gaps, regulation traps, and the questions to ask before you sign. No subscription.

Is my quote data kept private?

Yes. We don't sell leads, share your details with builders, or monetise your data. Your uploaded quotes are processed for analysis only.

How is this different from getting a second quote?

A second quote tells you one builder's price. MyBuildAlly tells you whether any quote is fairly priced against regional benchmarks, whether the scope is complete, and which questions to ask — across every quote you receive.

Do I need to understand building to use it?

Not at all. The tool is designed for homeowners with no construction background. Reports are written in plain English with clear explanations of what each finding means and what action to take.

Don't sign until you've checked.

Upload your quotes, spot the gaps, and know what questions to ask.
