Quoting

From a rough description to a quote you can send.

Without FirstPriceYou priced the job at the kitchen table, hours after leaving the site, from memory and an old merchant receipt.

With FirstPriceDescribe the job once, typed or spoken. A drafted quote comes back, you check every line, and you send it the same day.

  • Every material line carries a named UK merchant price and the date it was fetched.
  • Search the catalogue and add products directly to your quote, with prices included.
  • Your saved day rate is used to calculate labour costs.
  • The 100% verified badge only shows when every line has a source you could point a client to.
  1. Describe the work
  2. A drafted quote, every line verified
  3. Search, add a product
  4. Day rate and total, in the open
  5. Send it to a new client
Getting paid

The first invoice always waited until you got home.

Without FirstPriceThe job was agreed in a text thread, the invoice built in Word that evening, and half the deposit forgotten by Friday.

With FirstPriceThe accepted quote becomes a job. Slide to 50%, check the PDF, and send the invoice before you leave the drive.

  • An accepted quote moves into Jobs on its own, with nothing retyped.
  • The slider does the arithmetic for you: 50% of the quote with the VAT (20%) split shown, to the penny.
  • You see the finished PDF exactly as the client will, before it goes anywhere.
  • It sends through the Mail app from your own address, so replies land back with you.
  1. The quote comes back accepted
  2. Find it under Jobs
  3. First invoice, slide to 50%
  4. Check the PDF
  5. Send it from Mail
Your business

Set your details once. Well formatted quotes and invoices forever.

Without FirstPriceYou copy an old quote in Excel and edit it again. Quotes and invoices pile up in folders across your PC, and finding the right version becomes a job in itself.

With FirstPriceA short onboarding asks about your trade, your rates and your letterhead. Switch on VAT and CIS once, and every quote and invoice carries them.

  • Tell us your trade and region once, and your baseline prices are set.
  • Your day rate is asked once, then used on every quote.
  • Upload your logo and watch it appear on the letterhead as you type.
  • VAT and CIS toggles: on once, on every document after that.
  1. Tell us your trade and region
  2. Set your day rate
  3. Add your logo, watch the letterhead
  4. Switch on VAT
  5. Switch on CIS

A price is only useful when you know where it came from.

FirstPrice keeps provenance with every material line. Old or uncertain data is marked for checking instead of being presented as current.
