Proposals
Send bids your clients can actually respond to
Turn your estimate into a polished proposal with line-item detail, totals, and markup — then email a link so the homeowner can accept or decline without a PDF ping-pong match.
- Add customers and projects, then build scope line by line
- Apply overhead and fee markup with controls you set
- Clients get a clear proposal page with accept / reject actions
How it works
Three steps from unit rates to a signed scope — whether you are bidding a full custom home or a kitchen remodel.
- Step 01
Set up your rate library
Use pre-loaded residential bid items or add your own. Organize by MasterFormat division, edit labor and material costs, and keep a version history when prices change.
- Step 02
Build the proposal on site or in the office
Create a project, add line items from your library, adjust quantities, and apply overhead and fee markup. Pull fresh unit pricing whenever your costs move.
- Step 03
Send it and get a clear answer
Email a branded proposal link to your client. They review the scope and pricing, then accept or decline — you get notified either way.
