Mason

After the stonemasons. Knows what building work should cost.

Mason reads every vendor quote that crosses your desk and benchmarks each line two ways: against live market pricing, and against your own metrics, your cost history, your win rates, the margins you actually land. The verdict is decided by your numbers, not a generic index: which quotes are fair, which are padded, what your charge-out and margin should be to win without giving it away. Every bid also carries an ESG forecast: materials origin, embodied carbon against baseline, and compliance exposure, ready for the clients who now ask. Built for builders, surveyors and anyone who prices construction work for a living.

How Mason works

What goes in, what Mason does, what lands.

YOU PROVIDE

The quotes on your desk

Vendor and subbie quotes, PDFs, spreadsheets, emails, however they arrive. Mason reads them all, line by line.

The job and YOUR book

Scope, location, your cost history, your win rates and the margins you've actually landed. Your own metrics decide the outcome, the market band just referees.

THE MACHINE
Mason

Mason breaks every quote into its lines, benchmarks each against current market pricing for that trade in that region, flags the outliers with the evidence, and models your charge-out: what wins the job, what protects the margin, and where the room to move is.

YOU RECEIVE

The benchmark verdict

Quote by quote: fair, padded or under-priced, with the numbers behind it. A recommended charge and margin tuned to your own win history, an ESG forecast for the bid, and reasoning you can defend in a client meeting.

What Mason takes care of
  • Reads vendor quotes in any format, line by line
  • Benchmarks every line against live market pricing for the trade and region
  • Flags padded lines with the evidence, not just a hunch
  • Models your charge-out and profit margin against what the market bears
  • Weighs your own cost history and win rates, so the recommendation fits your book, not an average
  • ESG forecast per bid: materials origin, embodied carbon vs baseline, compliance exposure
  • Keeps your pricing history so every future bid starts smarter

Commissioned like everything from this forge

Drawn first, priced fixed before we start, built beside your existing tools, supervised until you say otherwise, and measured against numbers we agree up front. And before you decide anything, you see Mason working on your own business, free.

Asked honestly

Where does the market pricing come from?

Live trade and materials pricing sources for your region, blended with your own cost history, which is often the most honest benchmark you own. Every figure Mason quotes carries its source.

Who is this for?

Builders comparing subbie quotes, surveyors and estimators benchmarking costs, and any firm that prices construction work and wants its margins decided by evidence instead of habit.

What's in the ESG forecast?

A per-bid read on materials origin, embodied carbon against the regional baseline, and compliance exposure, sourced and cited. More clients are scoring bids on it every quarter; Mason makes sure yours arrives with the answer already attached.
