Why a link quote beats a PDF template

Clients forward a PDF to everyone and pick at every line. The link lets you show section totals, and records who accepted and when.

They say yes on their phone. Accept with their name, a tick or a signature, with a record of who and when.
Extras and choices add themselves up. They tick an optional extra or pick one option and the total, GST and deposit follow.
The deposit comes with the yes. By card when they accept, or your bank and PayID details show straight after.
You know when it's opened. And Karven has a follow-up written for the quiet ones. Nothing goes until you tap Send.
They still get a PDF. Attached to the email, matching the link line for line.

Quote template questions

Common questions

Is this builder & renovations quote template really free?
Yes. No email, no sign-up. Type on the page, then print it or save it as a PDF from your browser's print screen.
Should my quote show prices including GST?
If you're registered for GST, show the total including GST. Australian consumer law expects consumers to see a single total price, and the ATO's tax invoice rules apply when the job is invoiced. If you're not registered, don't add GST at all.
What terms suit a builder & renovations quote?
This template starts with these: This quote is valid for 30 days and is subject to a signed building contract where the law requires one. Prime cost and provisional sum items are allowances. The final price is adjusted to the actual cost. Variations must be agreed in writing before the work is done. Change them to suit how you work.
How long should a quote be valid for?
Most tradies use 14 to 30 days, because material prices move. Put the date on the quote so there's no argument later.
What's the difference between this template and Karven?
This template is a printable page you fill in by hand. Karven builds the quote for you from your own items and prices, adds GST, sends it as a link the customer can accept and pay a deposit on, and tells you when it's opened. 21 days free, then $29/mo inc GST.
