Can AI write quotes for tradies?
Yes. AI can draft a quote from your rate card, your standard inclusions and exclusions, and the details and photos the customer sent, in your branding and format. You check it, adjust anything that needs your judgement, and send it. It speeds up the writing. It doesn't replace your judgement on price.
What AI needs from you
Your rates, call-out and common materials, your usual inclusions and exclusions, and a few example quotes for each job type. The better the inputs, the better the drafts.
How it works on a job
An enquiry comes in with details and photos. AI drafts the quote using your rates and wording. You get it on your phone, check it, tweak it and send it.
Where you stay in charge
Unusual jobs, tricky access, a customer you know needs extra care. AI flags what it's unsure about, and you set the price. Nothing goes out without your approval.
Follow-up included
Once sent, follow-ups can go out on a schedule until the customer replies, so quotes don't go cold while you're busy.
Common questions
Will it use my prices or make them up?
It drafts from the rates you give it, and you check every quote.
Can it quote from photos?
It can use photos for context. For anything uncertain, give a range or book a visit.
Does it work with my accounting software?
Accepted quotes can flow into invoices in your existing software.
What about complex jobs?
Use AI for the routine ones and the first draft of complex ones. Your judgement does the rest.
