Line-item pricing
Add labour, materials and call-out lines with quantities and unit prices. Gaffer totals it up, handles VAT and shows the customer a clear breakdown of what they are paying for.

How the quote builder works in Gaffer
Saved templates
Build a quote once for a job you do often — a boiler swap, a rewire, a fence panel run — save it as a template, and reuse it in seconds on the next enquiry.
Your price list, built in
Keep your common labour rates and materials in a reusable price list so every line is consistent, accurate and quick to drop in — no digging through old jobs.
Optional & tiered options
Offer good / better / best, add optional extras, and let the customer pick. You quote once instead of three times and the value goes up.
Branded & sent in a tap
Every quote carries your logo and details, goes out by email or link, and the customer accepts online with an e-signature — no printing, no posting, no chasing a yes.
Accepted quote becomes a job
The moment it is accepted, Gaffer can turn the quote into a scheduled job and later an invoice — so nothing is re-typed and nothing slips through the cracks.

Quote builder questions
How fast can I build a quote?
Most quotes take a few minutes. Start from a saved template, pull labour and materials from your price list, adjust the lines, and send. The more you build, the more reusable templates you have.
Can I build and send quotes from the mobile app?
Yes. The Gaffer mobile app for Android (iOS coming soon) is offline-first, so you can build a quote on a customer's drive with no signal and it sends and syncs as soon as you are back online.
What happens when a customer accepts a quote?
The customer accepts online with a tap and an e-signature. Gaffer can then turn the accepted quote straight into a scheduled job and, on completion, into an invoice — with no re-typing.
Is the quote builder included in the price, and is there a free trial?
Yes. The quote builder is part of Gaffer with no per-quote fees, and you get a 14-day free trial with full access and no card required.
