Check a builder's or contractor's quote
check_quoteRead-onlyIdempotent
Is a builder's quote right on quantities? Reads a contractor's quote (pasted text) against the reader's own job and returns each quoted quantity against the range the job's calculators give, the lines it leaves out or adds, and the questions to ask. Money is removed and not judged; a difference is a question, not a verdict.
Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| job | Yes | The quote check: bathroom-quote, plastering-quote, or a takeoff's ({takeoff id}-quote). | |
| quote | Yes | The quote's text. Prices may be left in; they are taken out before reading. | |
| detail | No | full (the default): the whole answer. summary: the result lines, the citation line and the page only — fewer tokens to read. | full |
| market | No | Optional. A market whose own opening choice some inputs take (a UK reader's code, an IEC motor), and whose currency symbol prints the caller's own money figures. | |
| system | No | The unit system inputs left out open in, and the one the page link opens in. The answer comes in both. | metric |
| selection | No | Build-up choice id → option id, the takeoff's own (a stud size, an insulation, a cladding). Choices left out take the page's own for the system. | |
| inputUnits | No | Send "base" to pass bare numbers on dimensioned inputs in base units (m, m², L, kg …), as the published test vectors are written. Without it a length, area or volume must carry its unit. | |
| measurements | No | Measurement id → value, each length, area or volume with its unit ("12 ft", {"value": 3.6, "unit": "m"}); counts as numbers. Ids are those of the takeoff; any left out opens at the page's own figure. |
