Quick start — send your first quote

Once your account is set up, you can send a professional quote in a couple of minutes. Here's the fastest path.

Steps

  1. Start a new quote. Tap New Quote on the dashboard.
  2. Describe the job. Either pick a job template (deck, fence, pergola, stairs, and more) or describe the job in plain English — for example, "Build a 4x3 metre hardwood deck with stairs." You can also use voice-to-text on-site.
  3. Add the customer. Enter the customer's name and details.
  4. Review the materials. QuoteMate suggests the materials and quantities with live supplier pricing. Edit anything — add, remove, or change items and prices.
  5. Set labour and markup. Add your labour hours (or days), your rate, and your markup. Add a travel adjustment if you're driving to site.
  6. Preview and send. Check the branded PDF, then send it by email (with a pre-written message) or share it by SMS or WhatsApp.

When the customer accepts, convert the quote to an invoice in one tap — no re-entering anything.

Heads up: your free trial starts here

Your 14-day Pro trial starts when you create your first quote, not when you sign up. That means you get to try every Pro feature — AI material generation, all PDF templates, extra payment options, and the lower Square fee — from your very first real quote. More on the free trial.
