The Construction Quote Speed Checklist
By the QuoteCore+ team.
The first contractor to respond wins 78% of home service jobs.
Not the cheapest. Not the most experienced. The one who got there first.
Most contractors lose jobs not because their price is wrong - but because their quote arrived a day too late. Someone else was faster. The client moved on.
This checklist is designed to fix that. Print it out, stick it in the van, and run through it after every site visit.
Why quotes take longer than they should
The site visit is rarely the slow part. It's everything after.
Measurements get written on a notepad, transferred to a spreadsheet, rebuilt into a quote, formatted in Word, and sent off - sometimes the next evening, sometimes two days later.
Every transfer adds time and risk of error. Contractors who quote fast have eliminated most of those steps.
The Construction Quote Checklist
The step that slows most contractors down
The step almost every contractor loses time on: entering measurements once - not notepad to spreadsheet to email.
Most quotes involve entering the same numbers three or four times. Every transfer is time. Every transfer is a chance for error.
The contractors who quote in 15 minutes have just removed the steps that didn't need to be there.
