How This Automation Works
Project Details Submitted → Professional Quote Generated
Capture Project Details
Team member submits foundation project specifications through digital intake form including square footage, foundation type, soil conditions, depth requirements, site accessibility, and customer contact information. The form validates required fields and flags any missing critical data.
Calculate Material Requirements
System automatically calculates concrete volume, rebar quantities, form materials, waterproofing needs, and additional materials based on project specifications and foundation type. Calculation engine applies industry-standard formulas adjusted for site-specific conditions and local building codes.
Determine Labor and Equipment Costs
Automation estimates labor hours based on project complexity, foundation type, and site conditions, then applies current labor rates. System calculates equipment requirements including excavation machinery, concrete pumps, and specialized tools, factoring in rental duration and site access constraints.
Apply Pricing and Margins
System retrieves current material pricing from integrated database or supplier feeds, applies regional cost adjustments, adds equipment rental costs, and calculates total direct costs. Configured margin rules apply appropriate markup based on project size, complexity tier, and customer segment.
Generate Professional Quote
Automation creates itemized quote document with company branding, project summary, line-item breakdowns for materials and labor, timeline estimates, payment terms, and validity period. PDF is generated with professional formatting and saved to customer record with unique quote number.
Deliver and Track
System sends quote notification to sales team with customer details and project summary, logs quote in CRM with timestamp and status tracking, and optionally emails quote directly to customer. Follow-up reminders are scheduled automatically, and quote status updates trigger appropriate team notifications.
How It Works
Transform your foundation quoting process with intelligent automation that generates detailed, accurate quotes instantly. When your team enters project specifications—including square footage, soil conditions, foundation type, and material requirements—the system automatically calculates labor costs, material quantities, equipment needs, and project timelines. The automation cross-references current material pricing, applies regional cost adjustments, factors in site-specific requirements, and generates professional PDF quotes with itemized breakdowns. Real-time integration with your inventory system ensures accurate material availability, while built-in margin calculations protect profitability. Eliminate pricing errors, reduce administrative overhead, and empower your sales team to respond to inquiries within minutes instead of days, dramatically improving win rates and customer satisfaction.
