FAQ

Questions

Which trades does it work for?

Seven trades right now: plumbers, carpenters, electricians, air conditioning (HVAC) installers, painters, roofers, and landscapers and concreters. Tilers are next. Join the waitlist and pick your trade so we know who to build for first.

Is the AI price accurate?

It's a starting point. Labour uses your own rate. Material prices are typical Australian trade prices that you should check against your supplier. You can edit every line before you send it.

Where is my data stored?

Your business profile and saved quotes stay in your browser on your device. When you use the AI, the job description is sent to our AI provider to write the quote. See the privacy page.

Can I price by the m² or by the room?

Yes. Painters, concreters and landscapers can use "per m² / room" lines with an all-in rate (for example a concrete driveway per m² or a bedroom repaint per room), alongside or instead of hours and materials. Those lines aren't marked up again.

How does materials markup work?

Type your materials at cost. QuoteAce adds your markup (15% unless you change it) to materials only, never labour, then adds GST on top. The customer sees one price per item, never your cost or markup. Tick "Show my cost & margin" to see your margin; it never prints.

Do I need to be registered for GST?

No. Untick "GST registered" and the quote shows a plain total with a note that no GST is charged.
