What it actually does

Trade Quote Forge takes a job description — typed out, or read straight off a photo or a set of plans — and works out a full take-off: the materials and labour the job actually needs. It prices every line against your rates and material costs, not a generic industry average, and groups the result by category so you can see exactly where the total came from.

Before anything gets sent, it also flags what it isn't sure about — a measurement that looks off, a spec worth confirming with the client, a detail the plans didn't cover. That means the questions come up while you're still looking at the quote, not three weeks into the job.

Every quote stays fully editable after that. Adjust a line item, add one it missed, log a variation later — it's a draft you finish, not a number you're stuck with.

Sound familiar?

You didn't get into the trade to become a data-entry clerk.

Quoting after knock-off
You walked the job at 3. It's 9pm and you're doing the maths at the kitchen table instead of eating dinner.
Trade Quote Forge: Describe the job on-site and the quote is ready before you've packed up the ute.
Guessing on prices
Half-remembered material costs from three suppliers ago, hoping the margin still holds up.
Trade Quote Forge: Every quote is priced from your own rates and material list — not a guess, not a generic average.
Something always gets missed
You send the number, start the job, and find the one thing that blows the budget out.
Trade Quote Forge: Issues and questions worth raising with the client are flagged before you send — not after.
Paperwork spread everywhere
Client numbers in your phone, quotes in your email, rates in a notebook in the glovebox.
Trade Quote Forge: Clients, quotes and rates all live in one place, on your phone.

How it works

From job description to sent quote, four steps.

1
Describe the job
Type a quick description, or upload plans and photos straight from your phone.
2
AI builds the quote
It checks the job against your rates and prices and drafts a full itemised quote, grouped by category.
3
Review & fine-tune
Check what it flagged, tweak any line item — takes a minute, not an hour.
4
Send it
A clean, professional quote straight to the client, straight from the job.

Everything you need to quote faster

 

A full quote in minutes
Describe the job in plain English, or upload plans and photos — Trade Quote Forge reads them and drafts a full itemised quote. What used to take an evening takes minutes.
Priced with your own rates
It prices using your labour rates and material costs, not a public average — every number is one you would have written yourself, just faster.
Nothing slips through
Quotes are grouped by category, with issues and questions flagged before you send — so surprises show up on the screen, not halfway through the job.
Yours to fine-tune
Every quote is fully editable — adjust line items, log variations, and send a clean, professional document without opening a spreadsheet.
Every client, one place
Contact details, job history and past quotes together per client, instead of scattered across texts, emails and old notebooks.
Works properly on a phone
Quote from the job site or the ute — it's a genuine mobile experience, not a desktop site shrunk down and squinted at.

“

I'm [your name] — I've spent [X years] in the trade as a [your trade], and quoting was always the part of the job I hated most. Not the work itself, the paperwork around it: sitting down after a full day to work out a price from memory, half-guessing at material costs, and hoping I hadn't missed something that'd eat the margin. I built Trade Quote Forge because I wanted that fixed for myself first — it's the tool I wished existed, built by someone who actually quotes jobs, not a software company that's never set foot on a site.

Questions, answered straight

 

It reads what you give it — your description, plus any photos or plans you upload — and works out a take-off (the list of materials and labour) from scratch, then prices it against your own rates. It isn't a fixed template with blanks filled in; every quote is built for that specific job.
Your data is kept separate from every other account — nobody else can see it.
Built and maintained by the person who runs it, not a support queue.
No lock-in contract. Cancel whenever you like.
