The problem with manual quoting for carpenters

Sound familiar?

🪚

First and second fix scoping

First fix carpentry — stud walls, joist hangers, noggins, roof timbers — and second fix — skirting, architrave, doors, stairs — need to be priced separately and accurately.

🚪

Bespoke joinery pricing

Custom wardrobes, alcove shelving, and fitted furniture are hard to price consistently. The same job can be quoted very differently depending on the day, leading to lost margin or lost work.

🌲

Timber material costs

Softwood and hardwood prices fluctuate. Quotes based on outdated timber prices eat into margins, particularly on larger first fix packages.

📏

Cut list complexity

Generating a cut list for stud walling, roof timbers, or a staircase by hand is time-consuming and error-prone. Mistakes mean wasted material and return trips to the merchant.
