Expected Outcomes
Measurable results our trades & construction clients achieve with proposal generation.
Detailed, priced proposals generated in under an hour rather than the typical half-day to full-day manual process.
Professional, timely proposals with accurate pricing improve close rates compared to delayed, hand-typed quotes.
Pricing built from current supplier data and rate cards rather than memory or outdated spreadsheets.
The Challenge
Common proposal generation challenges facing trades & construction businesses.
Tradies spending evenings and weekends writing up quotes instead of resting or doing billable work
Proposals delayed by days because the estimator cannot get to them between managing active jobs
Pricing based on outdated supplier costs or rough estimates that erode margins when actual costs come in higher
Generic-looking quotes that do not differentiate the business from competitors
Implementation
