ConstructQS gives Irish subcontractors and main contractors a fast, professional way to turn costs into accurate quotes — in euros, to Irish practice, without leaving spreadsheets behind to do it.

Elemental cost plans in the style of the SCSI Agreed Rules of Measurement — substructure, superstructure, finishes, services and external works — with preliminaries, overheads, profit and contingency.
Euro pricing
Rate books, quotes, invoices and AI estimates all work natively in euros, with a quick £/€ toggle for cross-border work.
13.5% construction VAT
Defaults Irish construction services to the 13.5% reduced rate and flags where 23% applies to materials or fees — confirm the final treatment with Revenue.
AI QS assistant & Project Designer
Price any trade in seconds, analyse site photos and drawings, and design & cost any project — houses, extensions, commercial units, roads and drainage.
Everything a QS needs, in one place
Whole-project estimating, bills of quantities, regional rate books, tender comparison, variations and valuations, programme and delay tracking, live profit and loss, invoicing and branded PDF quotes — all on any device. Whether you are pricing a house in Cork, a commercial unit in Dublin or a road and drainage scheme anywhere in the country, the measured approach and the maths are the same.
Frequently asked questions
Is there construction estimating software for Ireland?
Yes — ConstructQS prices every trade in euros, builds SCSI ARM elemental cost plans, produces bills of quantities and branded PDF quotes, and includes an AI QS assistant and Project Designer. Plans start around €39/month with a 3-day free trial.
What VAT rate does Irish construction use?
Most construction services are at the 13.5% reduced rate; some materials-only supplies and professional fees are at 23%, and the two-thirds rule can apply to combined supplies. ConstructQS defaults construction work to 13.5% and flags exceptions — confirm with your accountant or Revenue.
Does it use SCSI Agreed Rules of Measurement?
For Irish projects it builds elemental cost plans in the SCSI ARM style; for UK projects it uses the RICS New Rules of Measurement (NRM).
Can I price in euros?
Yes. Set your region to Republic of Ireland and everything — rate book, VAT, quotes and AI pricing — works in euros, with a £/€ toggle for cross-border jobs.
