For renovation contractors
Answer “how much?” honestly, before the site visit.
Send one link. Your client describes the villa in their own words, with photos and a voice note, and you send back an indicative range — a range, not a price — then price it properly the day you walk the job.
14 days from approval, card required, cancel before it ends. A person reads every application, usually the same day.
The 11pm quote
The job gets described three times before anyone writes it down
A voice note on Friday. A walk-through on Sunday where your client points at four walls. A thread that adds a second bathroom on Tuesday. By the time you sit down to price it the job lives in your memory, in your photos and in a chat you have to scroll twice — and the client has already asked for a number.
Measured, not remembered
The site visit changes the scope, not a second file
Your client’s answers arrive marked as theirs. On site you open that same scope on a phone, correct the areas you measure, add the rooms they forgot, and every line you touch changes source from client-reported to measured on site. The site visit ends with the scope already updated. Nothing waits for the evening.
Site visit · Tuesday 10:00
Your contractor is coming to measure:
- Living and dining
- Two bathrooms
- Kitchen
- Ceiling and lighting
You do not need to be there for all of it.

A range, not a price
Say what it might cost without promising what it will
An indicative range is what you can honestly give before you have seen the job: a band, the assumptions under it, and what would move it. It is not a quote, and Briked never sends it as one. The price is the quote you send afterwards, from your own rates, and only you decide when it goes.

Accepted, and recorded
Acceptance is a tap and a 6-digit code
Your client opens the contract on their phone, reads it in Arabic or English, taps accept and enters a 6-digit code sent to their mobile. What you get back is a record: the version they accepted, the moment they accepted it, and the payment milestones that follow. No printing, no chasing, no wondering which version they agreed to.

Every step keeps its record
Same words, one meaning
Renovation words, and the noun Briked uses
Four words a client, a designer and a QS each use differently. Here is what they mean on a UAE renovation, and what Briked calls each one, so the record matches the conversation.
- BoQ (bill of quantities)
- The measured schedule both sides agree once the scope has been reconciled. Until then what you send is a priced scope; it becomes a BoQ after the quantities have been reconciled against a method of measurement, which is why Briked keeps the two words apart.
- Variation order (VO)
- Work added, removed or changed after the contract is accepted — the second bathroom, the other tile. In Briked a variation is its own change to the scope, carrying its own record and its own acceptance.
- Provisional sum
- An allowance for work nobody can price yet: what is behind the wall, what the community will ask for. In Briked it is a line in the priced scope that carries its assumption with it, so what is still undecided stays visible to both sides.
- Retention
- Money held back from each payment until the defects liability period ends. In Briked it sits inside the payment milestones the contract records, so it is not a figure living in a separate file by the time the job closes.
Who needs an account
Pay for the office, not for the site
A renovation outfit is two or three people pricing and a crew on the villa. So the seats you pay for are the ones that price a scope, send a quote or issue a contract; anyone whose job is measuring, photographing and reporting gets a login for nothing, on as many projects as you run.
Office seats
The owner, the estimator, the person who invoices — anyone who prices a scope, sends a quote or issues a contract. Paid, and counted per plan.
Field seats
Foremen, supervisors and site engineers — anyone who measures a room, uploads a photo or logs the day’s progress. Free, and unlimited.
General notes
An indicative range is a range, not a price. Only the quote you send your client is a price.
A person accepts every number before it leaves your company. Nothing drafted by AI becomes the record on its own.
Your client never pays for Briked. Answering your scope link, reading your quote and accepting it are free for them, always.
Your rates, your scopes and your clients stay yours. We never show one contractor’s work to another. Read the data promise
The trial runs 14 days from the day we approve your application. A card is required to start it. Trial terms
Common questions
Do I need the full scope before I can send a range?
No, that is the point of it. Your client answers guided questions and you send an indicative range with the assumptions it rests on. A range is not a price; the price is the quote you send after the site visit, from your own rates.
What if my client changes their mind halfway through?
Raise it as a variation. It carries its own description, its own number and its own acceptance, and it sits against the same job — so at the end you can show which version of the works was accepted and when, without reading a chat back.
Does my client need an app?
No. They open the link you send on WhatsApp, answer on their phone, and later read and accept the quote in the same place. There is nothing to install and nothing to sign up for, and they never pay Briked.
Can I still price the way I always have?
Yes. Briked holds the scope and the quantities with their source; the rates are yours and the build-up is yours. If you price a bathroom as one lump you can carry on pricing it as one lump — the record simply remembers what the lump covered.
Does it handle NOCs and developer approvals?
It records them against the scope, so the approvals your client’s community or developer will ask for are written down instead of remembered. Briked does not apply on your behalf, and never tells your client that an approval will be granted.
What happens to my rates and my clients?
They stay yours. One contractor’s rates, scopes and clients are never shown to another, and nothing you upload is used to price somebody else’s job. The data promise says exactly what is stored and what is not.
Scope it, quote it, get it accepted — on your next job, with your rates.
