Estimating
Measure on your plans, drop in items, assemblies and packages and let RQS do the rest.
Assemblies let you move quickly through estimates without having to remember every formula and every little item a job requires.
Open your PDF plans, set the scale printed on the sheet, and trace lengths, areas and counts. Quantities flow straight into the estimate.
From upgrades to K&B remodels to a whole portfolio of home designs, packages keep items, assemblies and quantities at the ready.
Price a composite deck against a pressure-treated one, or a garage separately from the house, and switch them on and off. Totals follow.
Upgrade grades can be built into your assemblies, so prices for typical upgrades are ready to present with no extra work. Once approved, one click adds the upgrade, removes the starting option, and all reporting follows.
Selections show in the specs and are part of the items. The selection report groups them by job phase so customers and staff know what to focus on next.
Lock an estimate’s prices when it’s signed. Database changes never move a locked job, and you can see what would change before you update.
Write change orders against the job. Approved ones update the contract and the payment schedule.
Build purchase orders by vendor and cost code from what’s in the estimate.
RQS lays out a schedule from the cost codes on the estimate, with durations from your production rates and order-by dates for long-lead materials.
Set payment stages by percent or amount. They always add up to the contract and print on the proposal.
Before an estimate goes out, RQS checks it for $0 items and lines with no quantity. Coming after the beta: Claude will also point out work that looks left out.
