When a homeowner submits a quote request, the system automatically captures property address, drainage area dimensions, water problem description, soil type, and contact information. Site photos and existing inspection reports are attached to the request.

Calculate Excavation and Material Requirements

The system calculates required excavation volume based on drainage area and depth specifications. It determines pipe length, gravel tonnage, filter fabric square footage, and outlet connection needs using standardized formulas adjusted for soil conditions.

3

Apply Regional Cost Factors

Labor rates, material costs, and disposal fees are retrieved from regional databases based on the property zip code. The system factors in seasonal adjustments, current fuel surcharges, and local permit costs to ensure accurate pricing.

4

Generate Professional Quote Document

A formatted quote is created including project scope, itemized costs, material specifications, installation timeline, warranty terms, and payment options. The document is branded with your company logo and contact information.

Deliver Quote and Track Response

The completed quote is automatically emailed to the homeowner with a personalized message. The system tracks when the quote is opened, logs follow-up reminders for your sales team, and records acceptance or questions for pipeline management.
