Quote generator for carpenters
Carpenter quotes,
without the calculator.
Calco is built for carpentry businesses. Describe the job or take a photo - Calco works out boards, battens, brackets, and screws, finds the right products in your Stark, Davidsen, or XL-BYG price files, and produces a finished quote at accurate cost prices.
Example
Here is how it looks
in practice.
You write or say
"New plasterboard wall 3x2.5 m between living room and bedroom, with a door in the middle. Including battens and insulation."
Calco delivers
QuoteBuilt for your trade
Your trade.
Built in.
Calco knows the rules, standards, and suppliers in your trade. No need to explain your trade every time.
- 01
Boards, battens and brackets calculated automatically
Calco knows standard sheet sizes (plasterboard 1200x2400, OSB 1220x2440) and calculates quantities from m² including the correct waste allowance (your own waste % from the company profile).
- 02
Standard dimensions built in
Door width 89 cm, window sill 90 cm, floor-to-ceiling height 240-260 cm. Calco works with realistic dimensions so you don't have to specify them every time.
- 03
Rot, damp and settlement damage identified
Take a photo of the problem - Calco identifies damp damage, rot, settlement cracks, and woodworm, and adds the relevant remediation line items to the quote.
- 04
Filler and brackets included in the price
Calco automatically adds screws, filler, brackets, and anchor brackets so the quote matches what you actually need to collect.

Trade context
Rules and standards in place
Calco knows the professional foundation that separates an amateur quote from a professional one.
- Danish Building Regulations (BR) for timber structures
- DS/EN 1995 (Eurocode 5) - design of timber structures
- DS/EN 14081 - structural timber + CE marking
- DS 1140 and DS 1136 - Danish execution guidelines
- DS 418 - energy calculation and insulation

Why carpentry quotes take too long
A carpentry quote is rarely hard - it is slow. You count linear metres of studs, battens and boards, remember brackets, screws and joint tape, check rafter spacing and dimensions, and look up prices across STARK, Bygma and XL-BYG. And it usually happens in the evening, after a full day on site.
Calco does the counting. Describe the job by voice, text or photo, and Calco builds the line items from your own timber price files, so the cost is your actual cost. The items that tend to be forgotten - brackets, screws, joint tape and waste - are included.
The professional responsibility stays with you. Calco keeps track of dimensions and typical structures per the building code and Eurocode 5, but you always review and adjust the quote before it is sent as a PDF or into your order or accounting system.
