Who — and what — is AngriDave?

AngriDave is TrueScope Build's plain-speaking AI construction assistant. He helps homeowners and property owners make sense of contractor quotes before they commit to the work.

He organises the scope, rates, quantities, exclusions and payment terms, then turns the technical detail into clear questions and practical next steps. AngriDave supports the independent TrueScope review process — he does not sell building work or favour a contractor.

Independent. Clear. On your side.

We review the quote — we do not sell the job.

TrueScope Build is not a contractor directory, lead marketplace or substitute for an architect, engineer, quantity surveyor, attorney or site inspection. We help you understand the information in front of you.

Common questions

Before you upload.

What types of quotes can TrueScope review?+

Residential building, renovation, extension, repair and maintenance quotes, including contractor estimates and BOQs.

Does TrueScope recommend a contractor?+

No. TrueScope independently reviews the information supplied and does not sell leads or rank contractors for a referral fee.

What does the free check include?+

The Free Quote Readiness Check scores only the seven answers you provide and prepares questions to clarify. It does not upload or read the document, verify arithmetic, create a BOQ or test market prices.

How is the DIY planner different from Smart Multi-Quote Analysis?+

The free DIY planner organises only the headline figures and broad scope information you enter yourself. Smart Multi-Quote Analysis reads two or three supplied documents, extracts their detailed line items and aligns the scope, quantities, rates, allowances, exclusions, VAT and terms.

What is the difference between Quick and Smart?+

Quick Quote Check is a concise PDF risk review of one quote. Smart Quote Breakdown performs a detailed line-by-line conversion and adds an editable BOQ, Excel and CSV files, and a contractor-question sheet.

How do I pay for a Smart review?+

Create or sign in to your TrueScope account, create a project and upload the quote or quotes. After accepting the Terms and early-performance consent, continue to Yoco's hosted checkout. Work starts only after TrueScope receives Yoco's signed payment confirmation. Quick Quote Check and Complete Human-Checked Review are requested by enquiry instead.

Will VAT be added to the displayed price?+

No. The displayed amount is the final customer total. If VAT is chargeable, it will be included in that amount and itemised on the invoice, not added on top.

What should I upload for the best result?+

The complete contractor quote plus drawings, specifications or a comparison quote when available.

A quote is a promise in numbers.

Understand it before you accept it.
