- Looking up parts, checking supplier prices, working out the markup and typing the estimate.

- Where it runs
- What it costs
- $175 an hour, from a written estimate with a cap
How it works, step by step
Pick the parts. Prices come from your suppliers.
Each part is priced for your customer with your own markup.
The estimate and scope of work are generated: branded, clean, the same every time.
The customer signs and pays for the parts on a payment page.
You order the parts, already paid for. The job folder is made for you.
How we did it
This is how marine estimates are made. They come out of the system instead of a blank document, and parts are paid for before they're ordered.

How all of it works
Nothing goes out without you
Replies, estimates, review responses and follow-ups are drafted for a person to check, and you approve them before they go out. Standard replies, like the questions you ask every new customer, you approve once, and then they're sent for you.
- Drafted for you
- Checked by you
- Then sent
Limits
We built this around marine work. For your trade, we'd set it up with your suppliers and your prices.
What it costs
$175 an hour
One rate for all of it.
- Estimate
- Before any project, you get a written estimate with a not-to-exceed cap. You pay for the hours we actually work, never more than the cap.
- If the job changes
- If the job changes, we write a new estimate before doing more.
- First meeting at your business
- An on-site consultation is billed by the hour. If we go ahead, that time comes off the job.
- First call by phone or video
- Tell us on the form if a phone or video call is enough to start. We'll look at what you sent and tell you before we talk whether there's any charge.
- A closer look
- If we need a closer look at how the business runs, that's billed by the hour too, like everything else.
- Travel
- On-site travel: the first 30 minutes each way are on us, then $40 per half hour.
- Contract
- No long-term contract or retainer. You sign each written estimate before we start.
