Add doors and drawer fronts as your own labour, or as outside work with its own markup on a purchase order.

Kitchen plans in, draft quote out.

Forward the designer’s email with the plans. Quinn reads the sizes and materials, prices the assembly from your past kitchens, adds the install as its own line and lists what to ask before you send.

Questions
Can I price sheet goods and hardware in my own units?

Price material in the unit you buy and sell it in: kg, lb, sheet, square foot, linear foot, board foot or each. It is your library, so the unit is whatever you type.

Does it design cabinets or make cut lists?

No. Keep your cabinet design software for drawings, cut lists and nesting. Quotara quotes the job and tracks it through the shop.

Can I buy doors and drawer fronts from a supplier?

Yes. Add them to the quote as outside work with your own markup, then order them on a purchase order with an expected date. What you receive goes into job costing at the price you paid.

Can I track the install separately?

Yes. Mark it as site work. It stays marked on the work order and in job costing.

How long does setup take?

Drop in the spreadsheet or price list you quote from today and Quinn fills in your rates, showing where each number came from. Or send your files and Andrew, Quotara’s founder, sets up your shop for you, usually within one business day.
