Quotes take days? How to get construction quotes out in hours

A quote that takes days is usually waiting on assembly: quantities from one file, rates from another, and a document typed into Word at the end.

Reuse the build-up

Assemblies for the work you price often — a trade section, a paved area, a point — mean the next job starts from a structure, not a blank sheet.

Output from the estimate

The quote, the inclusions and the exclusions should come from the priced file. Retyping them is where the number and the document part company.

If you want a second pair of eyes on the file that is slowing you down, send it for a health check.
