Why we built this

Quoting eats your weekend. Always has.

The other tools digitised the spreadsheet. They never solved the actual job of reading the spec, doing the takeoff, pricing the line items, and defending the assumptions. Contractors still do all of that by hand. So we built something else.

Friday night, the old way
  • Takeoff by hand, sheet by sheet, with a highlighter.
  • Prices copied out of last year's spreadsheet.
  • The line you forgot turns up after the job is signed.
  • The PDF goes out by email. Then nothing.
  • Saturday goes to the next one.
Friday night, with Oldman Quotes
  • Upload the plans, a photo, or type the job in a sentence.
  • Every material and labour hour itemized, with where each price came from.
  • Anything the plans don't say is written down as an assumption.
  • Your customer gets a signed link and you see when they open it.
  • Saturday is yours.
What's actually new

We rebuilt the whole job, not the spreadsheet.

From the work order your customer hands you, to the finished quote, to the conversation that follows. Six things, built to work as one.

Reads the plans and shows its work

Doesn't matter if the work order is one PDF, a stack of drawings, or a full commercial tender, up to 150 pages on Pro, no page limit on Team. You pick the sheets that matter, we work through them section by section, and the review panel shows you exactly what got read and what to double-check.

    Send it and watch

    Your customer gets a signed link. You see when they open it and what they decide.

What you actually get

Three documents, not one.

One clean quote you send to your customer, with the math and every assumption behind it. One supply list you take straight to the counter, grouped by trade, quantities and units, no prices, ready to hand over or download as a CSV. One internal Excel workbook with every line, every cost and every margin, for your records only.

The work doesn't stop when you hit send

Your quote is a conversation, not a PDF in an inbox.

Clients get a signed link. They sign and accept, request changes, or decline right in the browser, and you know the moment they do. Revisions go out as a new signed link, and the full history stays.

Accepts

They type their name, sign, and the deal closes. The signed quote, the audit detail, and the Excel master are all attached to the project record automatically.

Asks for changes

A structured change request comes back. Click Revise, the prior quote reopens with every line editable, and the new version goes out as its own signed link.

Declines

You get the reason. The lead stays in the pipeline with the decline noted, so next quarter's follow-up isn't guesswork.

Questions

Straight answers.

Is the free quote really free?

Yes. One free quote every month, no card required. If it earns its keep, pick a plan. If not, you've lost nothing.

What can I upload?

PDFs, photos of the plans, or a sentence describing the job. Uploads run up to 10 pages on the free quote, 25 on Starter, 150 on Pro, and Team has no page limit. Big documents are read section by section, and the review panel shows you what got covered.

Whose prices does it use?

Yours first. Upload your supplier price sheets and labour rates, and where you've given us a number it wins outright. Anything else starts from built-in prices you can edit, and every line says where its price came from.

Does it add permits?

When you choose Add permits on Project Setup. New quotes start with permits left out. With Add permits, each permit is its own line. Where we have the municipality's fee schedule (Alberta, to start) we price it; where we don't, the line says To be confirmed instead of guessing.

Does my customer need an account?

No. They get a signed link that opens in any browser, with three buttons: accept, ask for changes, decline. Accepting asks them to type their name, which is what makes the signature count.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It runs in the browser on a phone, a tablet or a computer, so you can start a quote from the truck and finish it at the desk.

Can I cancel?

Anytime, from your account. No contracts.

Spend minutes on quoting. Not a weekend.

A free quote every month, on us. No card required. Bring the plans for the job you're bidding this week and see what comes out.
