Quoting & Estimating
The fastest, clearest, most consistent quote usually wins the job. Australian tradies lose 20–30% of potential work to slow or sloppy quoting: quotes that take three days to send, follow-ups that never happen, prices pulled out of thin air on the back of a fag packet. The articles below cover quoting software, AI-assisted quote drafting, and the follow-up workflow that recovers cold quotes.
Once your quoting is tight, the next leverage point is automation: auto-replies to new enquiries, automated quote follow-ups, AI drafting the email body. See AI for tradies for the full automation playbook.
