Know What Your Build Should Cost — Before You Talk to Anyone
Most Irish homeowners go into construction projects blind. Quotes vary wildly. Costs spiral. And there’s no independent benchmark to tell you whether you’re being treated fairly. BuildIQ fixes that.
The Construction Industry Has a Transparency Problem
Pricing in Irish construction is opaque by design. Contractors quote what the market will bear — and without data, homeowners have no way to push back. The result: overpaying is the norm, not the exception. Studies suggest Irish homeowners regularly pay 20–40% above fair market rates — simply because they don’t know what fair looks like. We built BuildIQ because we’ve seen this problem from both sides of the table. And we knew technology could solve it.
Our approach is simple: bring real data into a market that has none.
When you know what your project should cost, everything changes. Conversations with builders are different. Quotes are more honest. Accountability follows naturally. We collect actual project quotes from Irish construction — broken down by stage, material, and labour. We run that data through an AI estimation layer that benchmarks your project against comparable real-world work. And we give you the output for free, before you speak to a single contractor.

Why Transparency Matters
The average Irish homeowner spends €120,000+ on construction work in their lifetime. Yet most go into every project without an independent benchmark — relying entirely on the word of the contractor they’re about to pay. BuildIQ exists to close that gap. Our AI estimation engine is trained on real Irish project data, updated with current market rates, and calibrated against actual quotes from our delivery partners. When you get a BuildIQ estimate, you’re getting the closest thing to an independent quantity surveyor’s view — for free, in minutes.
