# Quote Builder: Priced Quotes From Your Own Price List, Checked by You

> 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.

Job photos and measurements in, a quote priced from your list out.

## At a glance

- **You load:** Your current price list and quoting rules
- **From the job:** Needs, sizes, materials and deadlines from the enquiry, plus photos and measurements
- **Pricing:** Every line from your own list, with no guessing
- **Gaps flagged:** Unusual items and missing measurements marked for a person
- **The quote:** Itemised, in your format, with what is included and what is not
- **Approval:** A person approves every quote before it reaches the customer

## What the Quote Builder does

- **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 (https://myzone.ai/pages/agents/ai-pricing-agent): 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

1. **Load your price list** (Once, then whenever prices change): You give it your current price list and your quoting rules.
2. **Send the job** (When an enquiry arrives): A request arrives with details, photos and measurements.
3. **Draft the quote** (Straight after the request): It builds an itemised quote and flags anything it could not price.
4. **Check and approve** (you approve) (Before the customer sees it): You review each line, fill any gaps and approve the quote.
5. **Send and track** (Once you approve): The approved quote goes to the customer and is added to your open quotes list.

## When to use it

- **A kitchen remodel request comes in with photos:** You get a priced draft with materials, labour and extras to check, instead of a blank page.
- **Two estimators quote differently:** Both work from one price list and one checklist, so quotes stay consistent.
- **Requests pile up during the busy season:** Drafts are ready quickly, and you only check and approve.
- **A customer sends incomplete measurements:** The draft flags exactly what is missing, so you can ask once.
- **You want to know which quotes are still open:** The open quotes list shows what was sent, when and for how much.

## What you get

- An itemised quote draft priced from your list
- A list of items it could not price or that need a measurement
- Quotes in your own format with inclusions and exclusions
- A record of every quote sent
- A list of open quotes to follow up

## 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.

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: 15 October 2026.

### What it found

- 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.

## Guardrails

- Your Ai1 team will tell you when the Quote Builder is ready for your account.
- A person approves every quote before it reaches the customer.
- Prices come only from your price list. Anything not on it is flagged, never invented.
- It never promises a delivery date or result that your team has not confirmed.

## Frequently asked questions

### 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.
