Quote Builder: Priced Quotes From Your Own Price List, Checked by You
Job photos and measurements in, a quote priced from your list out.
The Quote Builder is the AI quote builder in the Ai1 platform by MyZone AI: it turns a job request, photos and measurements into an itemised quote priced from your own price list, flags anything it cannot price and waits for a person to approve the quote before it reaches the customer.
Requests stop waiting for someone to find time at the end of the week, so customers hear back while they are still deciding.
Prices that match your list
Every line comes from your current price list, so two people quoting the same job get the same number.
Fewer missed items
A checklist for each type of job catches the extras people forget, such as delivery, disposal or edge finishing.
You still decide
Nothing reaches the customer until a person has checked and approved the quote.

Capabilities
What the Quote Builder does for you
Reads the job request
It pulls the customer's needs, sizes, materials and deadlines out of the enquiry, email or form.
Uses photos and measurements
It works out quantities from the measurements you give and notes what the photos show about the job.
Prices from your list
Each line uses the prices and rules in your own price list, with no guessing.
Flags what it cannot price
Unusual items, missing measurements or anything outside your list are marked for a person to fill in.
Writes a clean quote
A tidy, itemised quote in your format, with what is included, what is not and how long the price holds.
Tracks open quotes
A list of quotes sent and waiting, so you know which ones to follow up.
How the Quote Builder differs from writing quotes from scratch
Writing quotes from scratch means requests wait for a free moment and prices depend on who wrote them. The Quote Builder reads the enquiry, works out quantities from your measurements and prices each line from your own list. A checklist catches the extras people forget, and anything it cannot price is flagged, never invented. A person checks and approves every quote, and approved quotes join your open quotes list.
How this differs from the Pricing Manager: To set and benchmark the prices in your price list, use the Pricing Manager; the Quote Builder applies those prices to each customer's job.
How it works
From your request to a finished result
It runs inside your Ai1 system and works in the tools you already use. You ask, it works, it reports, and it stops for your OK where it matters.

Example priced quote
Example: priced re-roof quote ready to approve
Example with a fictional company. Names, people and figures are invented to show the agent's output. Any resemblance to a real company or person is unintended.
What it was asked: A homeowner sent photos and measurements for a full re-roof. Put the quote together from our price list so I can check it and send it today.
Example report
The job, read from the request: measurements and what we assumedPriced line by line from your price list: $18,141.40 before taxThe quote as the homeowner will see itBefore you send: checks and your approval
What it found: 3 findings, with the numbers
The photos and sketch give a 23.9-square hip roof; with the 12% waste rule from the price list, the quote orders 27 squares of shingles.
Fifteen lines, all from the October price list with no hand-entered prices, total $18,141.40 before tax, plus two priced options of $1,620 and $1,780.
Four assumptions are priced so the owner sees the swing, and a stain under the chimney flashing suggests a 20-minute site check before the homeowner signs.
This is an illustrative example of the quote Quote Builder is being built to produce: the job read from the request, the quote priced line by line from the business's own price list, the customer-facing version and the pre-send checks. It was written by hand from the agent's design for an invented roofing contractor, with an invented price list, job and figures. No real customers, systems or people were involved, and nothing was sent. Run date: .

Common questions
Frequently asked questions about the Quote Builder
Can a quote be built from photos and measurements?
A draft can. Photos and measurements show the size and type of the job, and a price list turns that into line items. The Quote Builder drafts the quote this way and flags anything it could not price, and a person checks it before it goes out.
How can a team keep job quotes consistent between estimators?
Quote every job from one current price list and one checklist for each type of job. The Quote Builder prices each line from your own list, adds the extras people tend to forget, such as delivery or disposal, and flags anything it could not price, so a person fills the gaps before the quote goes out.
How accurate is an AI quote builder?
It is as accurate as your price list and the details you give it. The Quote Builder prices every line from your own list, flags anything it cannot price and leaves the final check to a person.
Can it work from photos?
Yes, alongside measurements. Photos help it see the type of job and what is involved, and the measurements give the quantities.
Who sends the quote to the customer?
Your team does, or it sends the quote once a person has approved it. Nothing goes out unchecked.
How is it different from the Pricing Manager?
The Pricing Manager decides and benchmarks your prices. The Quote Builder uses those prices to quote each customer's job.
Is the Quote Builder available now?
Not yet. Your Ai1 team will tell you when the Quote Builder is ready for your account. You can talk to us today about the quotes your team writes each week.
