Side-by-side measure · no cost
Your drawing. Our measure next to yours. Two working days.
Send one drawing set you have already priced. We return the run lengths, counts and system types next to your own figures, with a flag on every line that needs an estimator's eye. Then fifteen minutes to compare. No cost.
WE TAKE UP TO FIVE SETS A WEEK.
Your drawing is seen by two people at Mattis Consulting and nobody else.
Never published, never used to train anything, deleted when you ask.

What comes back, and what you do with it
The founder walks one set from the pack as it arrived to the side-by-side, and shows where the flags fall and why. No sign-up to watch it.
What it has done on real drawings
Measured, not estimated
Drainage job, live
0.1%
Our measure matched the estimator's own within 0.1% overall, and every line that differed had been flagged before he looked at it.
Public balustrade set
7 min
106 metres across six runs pulled straight off the sheets, system classified, component bill produced.
Uncertain lines
Flagged.
Every line the drawing does not settle is flagged before you look, so your estimator checks those and skips the rest.
How it works
Three steps, two working days
Step one
Send the set as it arrived
The pack exactly as the client sent it. We sort it, register every sheet, and tell you if anything is missing before we measure.
Step two
We measure and put it next to yours
Run lengths, counts and system types, each line tied to the drawing it came from, with a flag on any line the drawing does not settle. Send a blank copy of the sheet you normally fill in and it comes back in your columns and your codes. Send nothing and it comes back on one clear sheet. Your own figures are yours to keep. Bring them to the call and we line the two up.
Step three
Fifteen minutes to compare
You and the founder go line by line. Where we differ, you find out why. If it is not useful, you have lost fifteen minutes.
Who this is for
Firms that quote their own product off other people's drawings
For you if
- You manufacture or install one product family and quote it off drawings someone else drew.
- Balustrade and architectural metalwork. Drainage and below-ground products.
- Your estimator opens the set already knowing which components to look for.
- The first hours of every quote go on measuring by hand.
Not yet if
- You price whole packages from the spec.
- You need a bill of quantities, not a measure of your own product.
- You quote a handful of jobs a year and the hours do not add up.
If that is you, the measuring is rarely the slow part. It is the eight lines each drawn item becomes in the cost sheet, and that is a different conversation. Email [email protected] with one page of your cost sheet and we will take twenty minutes on it. Or send the set through the form and tick whole packages, and the same twenty minutes follows.
What follows
If the comparison holds, three stages
Fortnight
Live jobs, as they land, for two weeks
Paid, with a refund if the measure misses the standard we agree on the call.
Desk
A monthly quote desk, holding the measure of record
When a revised set lands we run it and return what changed, not a fresh measure to check from scratch.
Scorecard
Every month, in writing
Turnaround, flagged lines, and which quoted jobs landed.
No prices on this page. They are agreed on the call, against your volumes.
