FAQ

Questions

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.

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.

Can I send it to the customer?

Yes. Use Print / Save as PDF, then attach the PDF to an email or text.

Is there a free painting quote template?

Yes. See the painting quote template guide for what to include, or just make one now.
