Smart Service Quote Builder
Christopher Martin
Smart Service Quote Builder
A practical browser tool for trades and local service businesses that need to price work quickly and consistently.
THE PROBLEM
Job pricing often starts in a calculator, moves into notes, and gets rewritten again for the customer. That creates avoidable admin and makes it easy to miss costs.
THE SOLUTION
This tool combines labour hours, hourly rate, materials, travel, contingency and optional VAT in one simple screen. It produces a live cost breakdown and a clean quote summary that can be copied into an email or message.
WHAT I BUILT
• Live pricing calculations
• Labour, materials and travel breakdowns
• Adjustable contingency percentage
• Optional UK VAT calculation
• Copy-ready customer summary
• Responsive layout for desktop and mobile
• Private, browser-only processing
WHY IT IS USEFUL
The tool gives a service business a repeatable quoting process without requiring a spreadsheet, subscription or complicated setup.
Built as an original working portfolio project. No client or revenue claims are attached to it.
