One platform, tailored for construction, that does the work for you.
Send professional quotes that close deals.
Generate branded PDF quotes from your estimates and send them for online approval. Track views, manage approvals, and convert signed quotes into projects.
I can't track whether the client has seen the quote yet.
Quotes are formatted manually in Word, exported to PDF, and emailed. There's no tracking. When the phone rings three days later, you don't know if they even opened it. Approval is verbal, no paper trail. When disputes arise, it's your word against theirs.

Send via email with a secure link. Clients open the quote in your client portal and approve or decline there. Full activity timeline shows when the quote was sent, when it was viewed, and when it was approved or declined. Legally timestamped.
Approval in the client portal with a frozen estimateOne-click project conversion
Convert approved quotes into projects with one click. Budget, scope, and line items carry forward. No re-entry. The approved revision becomes the baseline budget for the project.
Quote-to-project pipeline, zero re-entryThe old way
- Format the estimate in Word. Adjust the layout. Export to PDF. Attach to email. Send.
- Wait. Call the client after 3 days. "Did you see the quote?" They can't find the email. Resend.
- Client says "yes" on the phone. No written record. Six months later: "I never approved that line item."

Frequently asked questions
What does my client need to approve a quote?
Just the email. The link signs your client in to your client portal, where they read the full quote in the browser without downloading an app. The first time they approve or decline, they choose a password, so the decision is recorded on their own account. After that they sign in with that password or with a sign-in link by email.
What happens when the client approves?
The estimate revision freezes automatically. No further edits possible. The approval is timestamped and recorded. You can then convert the approved quote into a project with one click.
Can I customize the PDF design?
Yes. Configure your company logo, address, bank details, and payment terms in settings. These apply to every generated quote automatically.
