Sheet and board-foot counts on the back of the drawing.
Sheets and board feet priced from your own library.
Assembly hours are a guess.
Priced from what your last similar job really took.
Install days run over, and the quote never learns.
Install tracked as site work, so the next quote is closer.
Sheets, board feet, linear feet or each, priced from your own library.
Cutting, assembly and finishing estimates corrected by the hours really clocked on similar jobs.
Finish as your own labour or as an outside line with its own markup.
Mark the install as site work, and track it apart from shop time.
Upload the elevations as a PDF. Quinn reads sizes, materials and finish notes across several sheets.
A 2-week Gantt, a month calendar or a list, with who is clocked in on each job.
Forward the RFQ with the drawings. Quinn reads the sizes and materials, prices the assembly from your past jobs, adds the install as its own line and lists what to ask before you send.
The free rate calculator works out your real hourly rate from your equipment, labour and overhead, and shows what you leave on the table today.
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.
No. Quotara quotes the job and tracks it through the shop. Keep your design or CAM software for cut lists.
Yes. Mark it as site work. It stays marked on the work order and in job costing.
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.
