The situation
Dave runs a carpentry business handling everything from decks to custom cabinetry. The work varied — and so did his quoting process.
Every job required:
- measuring and takeoffs
- material calculations
- labour estimates
- custom allowances
He'd spend hours after work trying to piece it all together.
The pain
The complexity wasn't the problem — the inconsistency was.
- Some quotes were detailed, others were rough
- Pricing varied job to job
- Customers asked questions he hadn't anticipated
- He'd forget items and absorb the cost
"I was quoting the same types of jobs differently every time."
The switch to QuoteOS
Dave set up his pricing library with:
- standard timber rates
- labour by task type
- common fixtures and hardware
- typical allowances
Now he describes the job and QuoteOS generates a structured quote with consistent pricing.
The transformation
- **Same-day quotes** became the norm
- Scopes were clearer — fewer surprises on site
- Customers understood what was included
- Dave stopped second-guessing his pricing
The human outcome
"I'm not dreading the quoting anymore. It's just part of the workflow now."
