Automated quoting software for construction
An enquiry arrives; a branded, itemised quote PDF built from your own price list goes back the same day — with options where the job warrants them, a one-click accept button for the customer, and automatic, polite follow-up if it goes quiet. The firm that quotes first and chases properly wins jobs the slower firm never even hears about losing.
- Same-day branded quotes
- One-click acceptance
- Follow-ups handled
Speed is the quiet reason quotes are lost
Most contractors do not lose work on price. They lose it in the gap between “can you give me a price?” and the quote actually arriving — a gap that stretches to days because quoting happens after hours, from a spreadsheet, around everything else. By the time your carefully priced PDF lands, a competitor who answered on day one has already walked the job.
And the quotes that do go out mostly die of silence, not rejection. Nobody enjoys chasing; it feels like pestering, so it does not happen, and the pipeline fills with “sent — no reply” rows that were winnable with one well-timed nudge.
From enquiry to signed acceptance
- Priced from your list, not a guess. Your rates, your materials, your standard descriptions. Where the job needs measuring first, quantities come from a drawing take-off rather than a round number.
- Branded PDF, options included. Your logo, your terms, and — where it helps the sale — more than one way to buy the job priced side by side, so the customer chooses between options instead of choosing between you and someone else.
- One-click accept. The customer approves from their phone. No printing, no scanning, no “I'll sign it when I'm back at the house” — and you get a written acceptance on record before work starts.
- Auto-chase, courteously. Quotes that go quiet get followed up on a sensible rhythm, in your tone of voice, and stop the moment the customer replies. Variations mid-job get the same treatment: priced, sent, and agreed in writing before the work is done — which is exactly the paper trail you want when the final account is settled.
Accepted quotes flow straight into the books
Acceptance is not the end of the paperwork; it is the start of invoicing, deposits and payment terms. Because Nexley connects to Xero, Sage and QuickBooks, an accepted quote becomes an invoice without retyping, and payments land against the right job — the full picture is on the cashflow and Xero automation page. Quoting is one of four jobs in the single Nexley plan, which starts with a 7-day free trial.

Quoting is the first impression of how you will run their job.
The same-day reply
A proper itemised quote hours after the survey tells the customer you run a tight ship. It is the cheapest credibility a contractor can buy.
The rest of the back office →The professional document
Branded, itemised, with clear exclusions and terms — the quote that reads like a firm twice your size, priced from rates that are actually yours.
How it fits your other tools →The follow-up that felt human
A courteous nudge four days later wins the jobs silence loses. Customers read it as attentiveness — because it never arrives after they have already replied.
