Questions shops ask us

How is an estimate built?+

In sections that match how the work is sold, such as kitchen, island and pantry, each with lines from your catalog: products with options and swatches, assemblies, and one-off parts. Every line has its own costing panel: rule, markup, material and hours.

Where do labor hours come from?+

Products carry labor by department. The estimate adds it up and prices it at your loaded rates and target margin, so the quote and the costing tab agree.

How do revisions work?+

A revision keeps the previous version and marks the current one as primary. The job, the schedule and the invoices answer to the primary revision.

How are deposits and progress payments handled?+

A payment schedule, such as a deposit on acceptance, a progress payment at a status and the balance on completion, is applied to the estimate. Each milestone raises its invoice when it fires, or when you press Bill now.

How does the customer accept it?+

From a link, with no login. They review the current revision, accept it, sign if you ask for a signature, and pay the deposit on the same page.

Does it produce cut lists?+

The estimate is commercial. Cut lists come from the work order's bill of materials, by material and with a machine's rate for each, when manufacturing is part of your setup.
