A price catalogue, or ten minutes saved on every quote

A fast quote isn't about typing speed. It's about preparation.

What takes time in a quote

Not the typing: the deciding. What price for this square metre, what unit, what VAT. Re-pricing every time means redoing the same reasoning ten times.

The four bricks

A material is a purchase, labour is your time, equipment is a hire, a flat rate is a whole. The type isn't for filing: it determines where the line weighs on your margin.

Bundles, the real gain

“Complete bathroom”, “shopfront”, “lighting point”: several lines under one name with a single price. One tap, and it's priced.

Keeping it current

A two-year-old catalogue loses money on every quote. The right habit: adjust a line the moment you use it and the price has moved.
