Quote Generation Automation for Trades & Construction
Transform your trades & construction quote generation automation with custom automation built by Harvard-educated experts. Measurable outcomes in 4-8 weeks, backed by 98% client retention.
Expected Outcomes
Measurable results our trades & construction clients achieve with quote generation automation.
Quotes that previously took a day or more to compile are generated within an hour of the site visit or enquiry.
Automated pricing lookups eliminate the manual calculation errors that lead to underquoting and margin erosion on jobs.
Faster turnaround and professional presentation give you the edge over competitors still quoting from the back of a ute.
The Challenge
Common quote generation automation challenges facing trades & construction businesses.
Tradies spend evenings and weekends compiling quotes after a full day on site, leading to burnout and delayed responses
Material prices change frequently but pricing spreadsheets are rarely updated, resulting in underquoting and margin loss
Quotes are formatted inconsistently across the team, some handwritten and others in basic Word documents, undermining professionalism
Follow-up on sent quotes is inconsistent, with many potential jobs lost simply because nobody chased the client
Implementation
How we implement quote generation automation for your trades & construction business.
Job Enquiry and Site Details Capture
A structured intake form captures client contact details, job type, site address, scope of work, and any photos or plans provided by the client.
- ✓ Tools: ServiceM8, Typeform, Google Forms
Materials and Labour Cost Calculation
Current supplier pricing, standard labour rates, and job-specific material quantities are pulled from your pricing database to calculate accurate cost estimates.
- ✓ Tools: Google Sheets, Airtable, Xero
Branded Quote Document Generation
A professional PDF quote is generated with itemised labour, materials, and margin, including terms, warranty information, and licence details.
- ✓ Tools: Google Docs, PandaDoc, Make
Client Delivery and Follow-Up Scheduling
The quote is emailed to the client with a digital acceptance link. Follow-up reminders are scheduled at 3 and 7 days if no response is received.
- ✓ Tools: Gmail, ServiceM8, Make
