Guidance for UK drylining and ceiling work — Estimate and Quote, Advanced Estimating, tenders, live jobs and Variations.
Estimate and Quote is the measure, the price and the issue. Advanced Estimating, Tenders and Live Jobs are Contractor workspaces.
For first-pass pricing, total area is usually the fastest route on site. For tighter quantities, use per-elevation wall or ceiling inputs.
Choose the system that matches the package — partitions, MF or grid ceilings, plastering, shaftwall and related quantities.
Price adds supplier rates, labour and mark-up to measured quantities. Review the package total, then issue WhatsApp, PDF or copyable ex-VAT quotation text.
Material and labour build-up from your site sizes — benchmark lines you can override. Day rate, overheads and profit stay under your control before issue.
Ex-VAT copy, PDF or WhatsApp summary — tweak wording, then send it your way. Pay Per Package issues this package. Pricing often, or constantly needing material counts for extras? QuoPro. Contractor is Advanced Estimating, commercial tenders, live-job control with extras, variations, delivery schedules and material orders in one place.
Issue the base quotation first, then add site instructions on the same package so the original and revised totals stay clear. Variations is the Contractor workspace for that work — it is not a second name for Estimate and Quote.
Continue from Quotation History, then add measured variations or instructions against the original package.
Issued quotations remain fixed as read-only records. QuoPro and Contractor users can reopen the underlying saved package, make changes and issue an updated quotation.
Pay Per Package is £9.99 ex VAT for one measured package — quantities from your site sizes, rates, the ex-VAT quotation, and PDF, WhatsApp and CSV on that issue.
QuoPro at £49.99/month is unlimited issued quotations, reusable quoting rates on saved packages, and PDF, WhatsApp and CSV exports.
Contractor at £99/month includes everything in QuoPro plus Systems & Rates, Advanced Estimating, Tenders, Live Jobs, Material Orders, Deliveries and Variations.
Confirm the system type, measurement method, dimensions and board layers in Estimate and Quote first. Treat the result as an allowance and review specification, access and waste before you issue.
Compare total area with per-elevation inputs if totals feel off. Copy the material order first when speed matters more than a formal quotation layout.
