The problem

Why quotes stall

Carpentry quotes often wait until you are back at the shed. That delay is where jobs leak to the next caller.

  • Build quotes around framing, doors, and timber runs
  • Keep fixings and labour allowances in your book
  • Send from site with a clear scope the client can accept
  • Turn accepted quotes into scheduled jobs

Questions from carpenters

Can I price a deck or framing package on site?

Yes. Use trade fields and your materials book so lengths, fixings, and labour calculate while you are still there.

What about custom joinery?

Add line items and notes for bespoke work. Your book stays the source of truth for repeatable rates.

Is this only for residential?

Built for residential and small commercial crews, not large estimating offices.
