AI Quoting: How Tradies Are Sending Quotes From the Ute in Under 2 Minutes

The fastest quote usually wins. Industry surveys consistently show a huge share of jobs go to the first tradesperson who gets a professional quote in front of the customer — yet most quotes are still written at the kitchen table, days after the site visit.

How AI quoting works

You describe the job out loud — 'supply and install 14 downlights, two new circuits, patch and paint two ceiling penetrations' — or snap photos of the site. The AI identifies the materials and labour involved, drafts line items with quantities and sensible prices, and produces a branded quote you review and send. What used to be a 45-minute evening job takes about two minutes in the driveway.

Does the AI get pricing right?

Good AI quoting tools draft, you decide. Taskr pre-fills realistic line items and quantities, but flags anything it can't price confidently at $0 so you fill the gap — it never invents a number and hopes. Your billing rates and price history make each draft sharper over time.

The compounding effect

Faster quotes mean more quotes sent, higher win rates, and no more Sunday-night admin backlog. Taskr customers regularly quote on site, before they've left the customer's driveway. Try it free for 14 days and time your first voice quote — most people don't believe the stopwatch.
