From a completed estimate to a polished, branded client proposal in one click โ no formatting required.

Name the project, add your client details, set the location and job type โ QuickEstimate sets up a structured estimate shell, ready for your costs.
Every estimate is tagged and searchable โ find any past project in seconds from your dashboard.
Tag by state, city, and trade type for reporting and analytics across your business.
Returning to a similar job? Start from any past estimate as a template โ costs and structure pre-filled.
Enter materials, labor, equipment, and subcontractor costs with full line-item detail. QuickEstimate structures everything so nothing falls through the cracks.
Add each material with name, quantity, unit, and price. Access your saved materials library for speed.
Set hourly rate and estimated hours per trade โ or enter a lump sum for each phase of work.
Add equipment hire by day/week. Add subcontractor quotes per trade โ compare multiple bids before locking in.
Your company overhead rate was set once in your company settings. It now applies to every estimate you create โ without you lifting a finger. Never undercharge for your running costs again.
Facility, admin, insurance, vehicles, tech, legal โ all accounted for in your single overhead %.
Your overhead rate is firm โ it can't be accidentally removed from any estimate in your account.
For unusual projects you can manually override the overhead rate on a case-by-case basis.
Type in the profit margin you need. QuickEstimate calculates the final quote amount instantly and shows you a live margin health indicator โ green means you're good to go.
Enter profit as a percentage of total cost, or as a fixed dollar amount โ whichever makes sense for this job.
A colour-coded gauge shows your margin vs. your minimum threshold in real time as you adjust the number.
If your margin falls below your minimum acceptable rate, QuickEstimate blocks sending until you review it.

Send directly through the platform (with open tracking) or download the PDF to send via your own email.
