THE PROBLEM

A job can look profitable until the forgotten costs start appearing.

Delivery, waste, plant hire, subcontractors, extra labour, small materials, overheads and variations can quickly change the real result of a job. EllsQuote is designed to make those costs easier to see before you commit to a selling price.

ONE SYSTEM

From site survey to final job review.

Use your own rates, suppliers and business settings. EllsQuote helps structure the numbers.

WHY IT MATTERS

You don’t need to change your prices. You need to understand them.

EllsQuote does not dictate what a builder, landscaper or decorator should charge. You enter your own labour rates, supplier costs, subcontractor prices, markup and VAT settings.

The goal is simple: make the logic behind your price easier to see, easier to review and easier to improve.

Check before you send:

  • Did you allow for waste?
  • Did you include delivery and plant?
  • Have subcontractors been priced correctly?
  • Are overheads reflected?
  • What margin does the job actually show?
  • What happens if you discount the quote?

BUILT AROUND REAL TRADE QUOTING

Not generic corporate project-management software.

EllsQuote was developed around the practical workflow of pricing building, renovation, landscaping and property-maintenance jobs: survey the work, organise the costs, produce the quote and review the result.

FAQ

Common questions.

Is EllsQuote accounting software?

No. It is an estimating, quotation and job-costing toolkit and does not replace accounting software or professional tax advice.

Does EllsQuote tell me what rates to charge?

No. You enter your own rates and costs. Example figures are editable examples, not recommended market rates.

Can I change VAT settings?

Yes. The workbook includes editable VAT settings.

Will EllsQuote guarantee profit?

No. Actual job costs and circumstances can change. EllsQuote helps organise assumptions and make the numbers behind a quote easier to review.

Is it only for builders?

No. It includes calculators and documents relevant to builders, landscapers, fencing contractors, paving contractors, decorators, plasterers, renderers and general property-maintenance businesses.
