Estimating & Quoting
A bid built off a rough guess at board feet is a project that loses margin the moment lumber prices shift. We build the estimating system that quotes from real material costs.
What we build
- Material-based quoting: Estimates calculated from current lumber, hardware, and finish costs.
- Labor time templates: Shop hours estimated from reusable build templates.
- Client-ready proposals: Branded, itemized proposals generated straight from the estimate.
- Margin protection: Bids flagged automatically when margin drops below target.
Implementation scope
Estimating connects to material inventory, so a won bid automatically generates the correct cut list and purchase order.
