Live estimate page

The quote opens with span, length, height, square footage and roof pitch stamped across the hero in mono type. A post-frame buyer already knows their own numbers, so leading with them says you understood the project faster than any headline can. Cells with no value are not rendered, so a light estimate shows three figures rather than three blanks.

Your Custom Building lists dimensions, square footage, support structure, siding, roofing, overhangs, concrete, openings, and every attached porch with its own dimensions and side. The rows are rebuilt from the SmartBuild answers rather than stored once, so a wording fix in your template reaches quotes already sitting in a customer's inbox. Zero-depth slabs and unit-less heights are dropped rather than printed, and an internal part number cannot leak onto a customer document.

Services like a concrete pad or stone veneer get their own section that says what they are, with a Details note you can write for this specific buyer, and no dollar figures at all. The money for the same lines is itemised further down under Your Investment. The rule is scope, then price: an add-on that appears only as a number looks like padding, and that is the line customers argue about at final billing.

Materials, labour, services as a category with each line beneath it, markup, tax, then the customer total in your accent colour. Every row has its own switch, and hiding one never changes what the customer owes — it only stops itemising it. A monthly payment figure sits under the total, calculated over your own lender's APR and term when you have set them rather than a number baked in for everybody.

The schedule on the quote is the one you configured, not a hardcoded 30/60/10, with each stage named, its percentage, and the dollar figure it works out to. Edit the stages after sending and the customer's open tab picks them up. The approval checkbox states the customer agrees to the schedule above, so it has to be correct at the moment of signature.

A button beside the approve action swaps the hero for the 3D model: four camera views — Overview, Front, Gable end, Plan — and three layers — Finished, Roof off, Frame. It is the same scene you designed in, so the geometry the customer turns around is the geometry the price was built from, not a second renderer that can drift. The 3D code only loads if they press the button, so a phone that only wanted the price stays fast.

The page counts only the seconds the tab is actually in front of someone, flushes as it goes, and records a final total when they close it. You get one first-open alert, and a read time that separates a ten-second glance from a twelve-minute review — which is the difference between calling today and calling next week. Your own previews are excluded, so the alert always means the customer.

Attached plans and blueprints render on the quote — images inline, everything else as a download row — and the same files reappear one click from the terms on the agreement page, where the customer has usually not looked at a drawing for days. Files upload straight to storage rather than through the app, so a full plan set or a real video goes through instead of bouncing on a size limit. The section stays off until you attach something and switch it on.
