Builder Estimating Software for Multi-Trade Quotes
For builders and general contractors coordinating several trades on one job, 1-Quote lets you combine multiple pricing sections into a single multi-section quote. Concrete, retaining walls, crossovers and stairs each have a dedicated calculator, and everything else uses a general area calculator, so one quote can reflect the full scope of a job priced from your own rates.
Join as a contractorWhat it does
- Multi-section quotes so a builder can price concrete, retaining wall, crossover and stairs scope items together in one document
- Dedicated calculators for concrete, retaining walls, vehicle crossovers/footpath bays and concrete stairs, each using that trade's own formula
- A general area x surface-type calculator for remaining scope such as driveways, grass and garden beds
- Company-wide pricing settings such as minimum job charge and waste percentage applied consistently across sections
- Reusable exclusions and scope-of-works wording templates to keep multi-trade quotes consistent and clear

Frequently asked questions
Can I quote several trades in a single document for a client?
Yes. Quotes are built from multiple sections, so a builder can combine concrete, retaining wall, crossover and stairs pricing, plus general area work, into one quote.
Does each trade section use the same formula?
No. Concrete, retaining walls, crossovers/footpath bays and stairs each use a dedicated calculator built around that trade. Other scope items use a general area x surface-type calculator.
Can different staff use consistent pricing across sections?
Yes. Company-wide settings like minimum job charge and waste percentage, and your priced rate card, apply across the sections your team builds.
Is there project management or scheduling built in as well?
Yes. Beyond quoting, 1-Quote includes CRM records, a job scheduling calendar with crew assignment, and invoicing, so the same tool covers the job after the quote is accepted.
