Why builders quote with a link.

A deck enquiry usually arrives as one line: how much for a deck out the back? You can't tell if the yard is flat or falls away, whether it attaches to brick or a timber frame, or if there's an old deck to pull up first. Renovations are worse. The customer's picture of the scope and yours rarely line up until you're standing in the room.

QuoteSnap sends a link with ready-made forms for deck, fence and pergola or patio jobs. Your customer picks the material, rough size, height off the ground and what the ground is like, then photographs the build area, house wall and any old structure. Artificial intelligence (AI) checks each photo and asks for a retake if it's blurry or not of the job. You read it all and decide: price it, or book a visit.

Skip the drive-out quote. Your customer shows you the job. You price it from your phone.

Questions builders ask.

Which building jobs have ready-made forms?

There are three: Deck Build/Replace, Fence Build/Replace and Pergola/Patio. Each comes with its own questions and photo requests. For extensions, granny flats, structural repairs or renovations, type the job name and AI writes the questions and photo requests for you. You check and edit them before the link goes out.

Can I quote a home extension or granny flat from photos?

Usually not the whole job, and QuoteSnap doesn't pretend otherwise. Use the link as the first step. Your customer shows you the site, the existing house and the access, and tells you what they have in mind. You decide whether it's worth a site visit, and you turn up already knowing the block.

How does the deck form handle height and features?

It asks how high the deck sits, from ground level through to over two metres or multi-level. Then it asks about stairs, balustrade or handrail, built-in seating and a pergola over the top. It also asks what the deck will sit on, so you know about a slope or an old deck before you price the framing.

Does the fence form cover old fences and neighbours?

Yes. It asks whether there is an old fence to remove, or only part of one, and whether your customer has spoken with the neighbour about sharing the cost. It also asks for fence type, rough length, height and gates, plus photos along the fence line, the ground and the access point.

Can I change the forms to suit how I build?

Every form is editable. Drop the composite option if you don't lay it, add a question about the slope, or ask for a photo of the eaves where a pergola will tie in. You can reorder the steps too. Your edited version is what every customer sees from then on.

Will the AI tell me how big the build area is?

No. AI does not reliably measure from photos, so it won't give you dimensions. Your customer enters a rough size or picks a size band. The AI summary covers what's in the photos, the condition of anything existing, and things to check such as access or missing information. The measuring stays with you.

How does this help when a renovation keeps growing?

Your quote goes out with a list of what is included, and your customer signs to accept that list. When they later ask for a bigger window or an extra step, you can point to what was agreed. QuoteSnap covers the quote. Keep running the job in whatever you already use.

Does my customer need to download an app?

No. Your link opens in any phone browser. They tap through the questions, take the photos and send it.

How much does QuoteSnap cost?

Every plan starts with 7 days free. After that it's $4.99 a month for Basic or $8.99 a month for Premium, including GST. Cancel any time from your settings.
