How it works

  1. 1

    Say what you have in mind

    The Refurb tab opens with a prompt bar. Describe the job in your own words, such as “full refurb, new kitchen and bathroom, rewire, then sell”, and press Start. You can also skip the AI completely and add the work items by hand, which is free on every plan.

  2. 2

    Unlock it for 15 credits

    You see the cost before anything is spent. Fifteen credits, charged once for that property, covers the interview, the first estimate, up to three full regenerations and the chat edits. Pro includes 50 credits a month and Max includes 200.

  3. 3

    The AI tells you what it thinks it is looking at

    Before asking you anything, it reads the listing and the floorplan and writes back a plain-English summary: room sizes, layout, likely condition, and what a vague listing description really implies. If it has got something wrong, correct it in a sentence.

  4. 4

    Answer the questions

    Expect five to ten questions about scope, standard, budget and timescale. Each one offers suggested answers you can tap, so most are a single click. Type your own answer instead whenever the suggestions do not fit. If you have said enough, you can generate the estimate early rather than answering the rest.

  5. 5

    Get the estimate and the schedule of works

    This usually takes under 90 seconds. You get one set of work items, each with a description, quantity, unit, specification, build phase and budgeted cost. The Estimate view groups them by category with subtotals and a total. The Schedule of Works view groups the very same items by build phase, from strip-out through to snagging. Two views of one set of numbers, so they can never disagree.

  6. 6

    Adjust it, then track it

    Every field can be edited by hand, for free. “Edit with AI” opens a panel beside the estimate: ask for something like “mid-range kitchen and underfloor heating in the bathroom” and it updates the affected items and tells you what it changed. You get five of these instructions per property per day. As the job runs, record what you actually paid against each item. The refurb budget feeds straight into your deal analysis.

A closer look

The Estimate view: work items grouped by category with budgeted and actual columns and a total.
The Estimate view — your lens. Work items grouped by category, each with quantity, unit, build phase, budgeted cost and a column for the actual you paid. Add categories and items yourself at any point.
The Schedule of Works view: the same work items grouped by build phase with written specifications.
The Schedule of Works view — the builder’s lens on the same items, regrouped into build order with a written specification for each line and a scope preamble at the top. No costs appear here.
The Edit with AI drawer showing an instruction and the AI’s summary of the changes it made.
“Edit with AI” slides in beside the estimate, so you watch the total move as the change lands — here the kitchen goes from £6,500 to £12,000 and bathroom underfloor heating is added.
The Share Schedule of Works modal with an include-budgeted-costs toggle, share link and PDF buttons.
Share a builder-facing schedule as a tokenised link or a PDF. It is frozen at the moment you send it, and the include-costs toggle is off by default — actuals, purchase price and profit are never included either way.

Refurb numbers are where deals are won and lost. Agent Estate turns a ten-minute conversation into a costed estimate you can defend and a schedule of works you can send to a builder — and keeps the two in step for the life of the project.
