Quoting app for
carpenters (chippies).
Your work is custom, so your quote shouldn't just say 'deck and pergola, A$14,000'. Describe the build, let the app price the timber and labour, and send an itemised quote that shows the customer exactly what they're getting. They accept from their browser.
Built for Australian tradies
The problem
Timber prices move. Your quotes should too.
Chippies under-quote on timber because prices keep moving. QuickPrice uses current Australian timber and sheet-material prices, so your deck and joinery quotes don't leave the margin on the bench.
Every custom build prices differently
A Merbau deck, built-in wardrobes, a pergola over the alfresco: every job is unique. Pricing it accurately on-site without underselling your skill or losing the customer with "I'll send something over" is genuinely difficult.
Timber prices keep moving
Treated pine, hardwood, Merbau, and sheet materials have all shifted in the last year. Quoting from memory means either your margin takes the hit or the customer does, and you don't find out which until the timber yard's invoice arrives.
Customers want to see the detail
A one-line quote doesn't inspire confidence for custom work. Customers want to see timber species, labour breakdown, and finish details. Writing that out properly for every job takes an hour you don't have.

Features
What's in it for carpenters
A native phone app for quoting on-site. Same data on the web dashboard when you're back at the desk.
Current Australian timber pricing built in
Treated pine, Merbau, spotted gum, Tassie oak, MDF, plywood, LVL: the app tracks current Australian prices. Describe your material spec and it's priced. No ringing the timber yard before you can quote.
Professional descriptions written for you
Tell the app what you're building. It writes "Merbau deck on treated pine subframe, 20 square metres, stainless trim-head screws, oiled finish", clearer than most chippies would write themselves.
Fixed-price or day-rate, your choice
Itemised fixed-price for standard installation work, day-rate plus materials for complex builds. Both formats are supported. Choose what suits the job and the customer.
Quote to acceptance to invoice
Send the quote. Customer accepts from their browser. When the job's done, convert it to a branded tax invoice in one tap. Track paid and unpaid from the same app.

Testimonial
What tradespeople say
“I was always the one who'd "send something over later". Now I quote on-site. The app writes a better description of the work than I would. Quoted a deck and pergola from the client's backyard and she accepted from her phone the same day. Converted the last three quotes to invoices from the app when the jobs were done. Haven't under-quoted on timber once.”

FAQ
Things people ask
Quick answers on accuracy, pricing, your data, and what happens after you send a quote.
How does it handle custom joinery and deck pricing?
Describe dimensions, material, finish, and complexity. The quoting software estimates material costs and labour. For standard custom work (decks, pergolas, built-in wardrobes, shelving) it's strong. For unusual commissions, use the estimate as a starting point and adjust in the review step.
Can I specify timber species and grade?
Yes. Mention 'spotted gum, kiln-dried, pre-oiled' in the job description and it appears clearly in the line items. Useful for clients who care about material quality.
Does it do labour-only kitchen install quotes?
Yes. Quote labour-only for customer-supplied flat-packs or supply-and-fit. Describe the scope and whether materials are included. The carpentry quoting software handles both.
What happens when the customer accepts?
They click 'Accept' in their browser, no app needed. You get an email notification and the status updates in your app. Convert accepted quotes to tax invoices with one tap when the job's done.
How current is the sheet material pricing?
Regularly updated with Australian prices for MDF, plywood, particleboard, and melamine-faced board. If your supplier price is better or you're using a premium material, adjust the line item before sending.
