Why video helps
A kitchen reno has twenty decisions tied up in the layout. Where the cooktop goes, which wall the cabinets run along, what's behind the fridge, how the plumbing drops into the laundry. You could take twenty photos. Or you could spend 30 seconds walking the kitchen with your phone pointed at the scope. The app reads the whole clip together and gives you back one coherent priced quote.
Kitchens, bathrooms, decks and pergolas, landscaping, anywhere the space matters more than individual items. Photos alone miss context. Video catches it.
Why a text-only AI can't do this
Most AI quoting tools online are text wrappers. They describe a photo in words, then reason about the words. QuickPrice reads the video itself, so it picks up things a frame-by-frame approach misses: how you walk around the island bench, where the sink sits relative to the window, where the ducting goes when the camera pans up.
Net result: fewer follow-up questions, fewer missed line items, a more accurate first draft on complex jobs.
How to film a useful walkthrough
- Keep it short. 30 seconds is the sweet spot. Longer videos don't help and slow processing down.
- Walk slowly. The app handles motion well but fast pans blur detail.
- Narrate as you go. Your voice is captured alongside the video and gives the app context the camera can't.
- Pan up and down at key points. Hot water systems, ceilings, downpipes and stacks. So the app sees the vertical elements too.
- Close on anything unusual. A non-standard fitting, damage, a hidden access point.
By trade
Kitchen installers. Walk the kitchen, narrate unit positions, appliance locations, service runs. Full install quote out the other end.
Bathroom renovators. Film the old bathroom, pan up to the exhaust fan, show pipework under the vanity. Reno priced from the walkthrough.
Landscapers. Walk the yard narrating scope: “this area's getting a deck, the retaining wall runs down the left.” Decks, fencing, turf priced together.
Builders. Walk through the rooms that need reconfiguring. The app follows the scope across spaces and prices a multi-room project as one piece of work.
