AI Quote Analysis - New Enhancements
Since launching AI-powered Quote Analysis just a few months ago we've seen over 150 builders already making it part of their E1 workflow. Thanks to your continuous feedback, we’ve introduced a few updates to make the experience even better.
Here’s what’s new
Citations: Confidence in every quote
AI-extracted information in reports now includes direct citations showing where each data point appears in the original quote. This transparency helps you quickly verify the information and gain confidence in the AI-generated output.
Quote Viewer: All your quotes in one view
You can now view the original quotes side-by-side against the Quote Analysis report in a new Quote Viewer. This makes it easier to cross-check details without PDF hopping.
Quote Package Suggestions: Smart package matching
When quotes are uploaded into E1, the system now automatically identifies trade-based package matches where possible, enabling faster review and organisation.
Connected Subcontractor Profiles: Instant company insights
If a quote comes from a subcontractor within your E1 Address Book, you’ll now see a direct link to their Company Profile. This applies anywhere their company name appears within the report, giving you instant historical context.

Location Switcher Updates: Now Showing Full Office Address
We've rolled out some updates to the Location Switcher to make it clearer and help prevent issues with duplicate entries!
Positioning yourself by office surfaces only tenders and leads that matter. Use Switch Office to pick a local hub and filter projects by region for faster, more relevant opportunities.
What's Changing
Office Address Display:
The checkboxes for selecting locations will now display the full street address instead of just the Office Name.Why Are We Making These Changes?
The goal of this update is to create a more consistent and accurate experience for all users and regions, ultimately helping you work more efficiently by improving clarity.
Showing the full address makes it easy to immediately confirm if an office is already listed, preventing the unnecessary creation of duplicates.
