Before
A spreadsheet per estimator
Every estimator has their own sheet and their own numbers, and none of them match what the crews actually take.
NowOne library of assemblies, with crew-hours from your own finished jobs.
Quick quote estimating
Price the job from your own field data.
Pick the assemblies and the quantities. Crew-hours come from your own past jobs, prices from the client’s rate sheet. Small jobs are priced in minutes; big tenders go on the owner’s unit-price bid form. When you win, the quote becomes the job.

What it fixes
Quotes from memory lose money quietly.
Before
Small jobs, slow quotes
A service call waits days for a price, and the client calls someone else.
NowPick assemblies and quantities on the client’s rates. Small jobs priced in minutes.
Before
Nobody checks the estimate
The job finishes, the numbers are never compared, and the next quote makes the same mistake.
NowEstimate vs actual on every job, from the signed LEMs, feeding the rate library.
How it works
Assemblies in. A price out.
Each assembly carries its crew, its equipment and the crew-hours per unit your crews have actually taken. Pick the quantities; labour, equipment and materials price themselves on the client’s rates.

Questions
About Quick quote.
Priced by company size, not per seat. Fixes and updates included in every monthly.
Where do the production rates come from?
From your own past jobs. Each assembly carries the crew-hours your crews actually took, and estimate vs actual on every finished job feeds back into the rate library.
Can it price on our client’s rate sheet?
Yes. Quotes are priced on the client’s schedule of rates you pick for the job.
Can we bring estimates in from HeavyBid?
Yes. HeavyBid estimates can be imported, so the work you’ve already priced comes with you.
What happens when we win?
Mark it awarded and the quote becomes the job: the work plan, the hazards on the FLRA, the LEMs and the invoice all start from it.
