For teams who quote
Quote faster than anyone — and win more.
If your team assesses briefs and quotes for customers — as an estimator, a contractor, or an engineering firm — Anvil turns a project brief into a costed, engineer-checked proposal in days, not months. The fastest credible quote usually wins the contract.
Sectors we quote fastest
The same four lines the engine is built around. Other hardware still comes through as a generic pack — we do not invent a specialist plant for it.
Battery energy storage
Wall-store and container packs: cells, cabinet, power conversion and thermal. The same door as Anvil Home Storage.
Water treatment systems
Process plant: tanks, pumps, membranes, dosing and distribution. Fertigation and irrigation sit here.
Electric motor sets
Drive units and motor–inverter sets: stator, rotor, cooling and power electronics. The same door as the Lucid Air drive unit.
Medical assay machines
Benchtop and sample-to-answer instruments: photometers, readers, fluidics and the board that runs them. An instrument, not a plant.
Other hardware
Anything else still comes in as a short brief and goes out as a Design Dossier and a quotation. We do not pretend it is one of the four specialist lines.
Days, not months
A brief becomes a costed, engineer-checked proposal in days — faster still for work like something you've done before. You're back to the client before your competitors have finished scoping.
Win the near-misses
On most tenders the fastest credible number takes the contract. The jobs you lose by responding in week four are the margin you're leaving on the table.
Right, not just fast
Anvil works from first principles — over 200 calculation tools on open, citable physics libraries, checked against continuously-refreshed component pricing. It flags what a busy estimating team can miss, and a human signs off every quote before it goes out.
What lands on your desk
One Anvil run. The quotation sits on top of the same engine that builds the Design Dossier — not a second product:
- A supply-only quotation you can edit on the web and download as PDF, plus a Word copy
- A price schedule workbook that matches the quotation
- The formal Design Dossier (Excel) — every cost line with method, confidence and source
- Engineering drawings and STEP when the design has them
- A risk and open-questions register — what's assumed, what's excluded
Costs are a rigorous first pass with every number shown working — your estimators check and own the final figure.
How it works with your team
- 1. Send the brief on /brief. The tender, the spec, or a short paragraph.
- 2. We validate, then Anvil runs once. One engine expands the brief, builds the dossier, and writes the quotation. Nothing starts until a human clicks Validate.
- 3. You review the quote and the workbook. Quotation.pdf sits on the same numbers as DOSSIER.xlsx. The figure that goes out is yours.
