Proposals and estimates for contractors
For contractors, remodelers and trades who bid jobs. Put the scope, the allowances and the payment schedule on one page, get it signed, and collect the deposit before you order materials.
Why bids stall after the site visit
The usual way
- A bid emailed as a PDF, then silence for a week
- No idea whether the client opened it or sent it to their spouse
- Changes agreed on the phone and argued about at the final invoice
- A deposit chased after a handshake, with materials already on order
With PropoBox
- The bid as a page that works on a phone, with each stage priced
- A note when the client opens it, and when they come back to it
- Allowances and a change-order rule written into the page the client signs
- A Pay button for the deposit right after the signature
Built around how a job is bid
Stages, allowances, milestones and a client who is comparing you with two other quotes.
Stages and allowances
Price demolition, rough-in and finish as separate lines, and write materials as an allowance the client can see and change.
Trade templates to start from
Starter proposals for a remodel, landscaping, a roof replacement and an HVAC installation, with the terms those jobs need already written.
Keep the bid you wrote
If the estimate already lives in a document or a chat, paste it in. The client, line items, dates and terms fill themselves in for you to check.
See when it was opened
You know when the client opened the bid and whether they came back, so the follow-up call is a reasoned one.
Signed on the page
The client signs with their name and a typed or drawn signature, with a consent line and a record of the signed version.
Deposit when they sign
Your own Stripe, PayPal or Wise link becomes a Pay button after the signature, as a percentage or a fixed amount.
A list of bids to chase
Bids opened but not answered, or not opened after two days, appear in one list with a note to start from.
