The situation
Mike is a plasterer working on renovations and new builds. The work was steady, but scope creep was killing his margins.
Every job had:
- patching and repairs
- full wall finishes
- cornice work
- prep and cleanup
Customers would add "just one more thing" — and Mike would absorb it.
The pain
- Scope wasn't clearly defined
- Extras weren't priced
- Customers expected more than quoted
- Disputes at the end of jobs
"I'd finish the job and realise I'd done way more than I quoted for."
The switch to QuoteOS
Mike set up his pricing library with:
- rates per square metre
- cornice and detail work
- prep and cleanup
- standard allowances
Now his quotes clearly show what's included — and what's not.
The transformation
- **Clear scope** from the start
- Extras priced separately
- Fewer disputes
- Protected margins
The human outcome
"Customers know exactly what they're getting. No more surprises for either of us."
