Construction quoting software for small and mid-sized contractors.

Sitetraq is construction quoting software for builders, contractors, and skilled trades. Generate estimates, send branded quotes, and convert them into jobs and invoices, in one workspace, with AI helping draft scope from a few lines of job description.

What construction quoting software needs to do

Most contractor software gets two or three of these right and forces you to bridge the rest with email, Word, and a spreadsheet. A real construction quoting tool should cover the whole list:

• Generate quotes from minimal input, a job description, photos, scope notes, without retyping the same line items every time.
• Handle the line-item structure construction actually uses: labor, materials, equipment, subcontractor work, soft costs, markup, contingency, sales tax.
• Distinguish between an estimate (best-guess number) and a quote (fixed-price commitment), with the right legal weight on the document itself.
• Reuse line items across similar projects. A 200-square-foot bathroom remodel and a 220-square-foot one share 80% of the line items, and the software should know.
• Apply markups and contingencies cleanly, not buried in spreadsheet formulas you can't audit later.
• Send a branded, customer-ready PDF, not a screenshot of a Word doc.
• Track quote status through sent, viewed, accepted, and declined, so follow-ups don't fall through the cracks.
• Convert an accepted quote into a job and a progress-billing invoice without re-entering anything.

How Sitetraq handles quoting

In Sitetraq, quoting is wired into job intake and invoicing. The workflow is straightforward:

1. Create the quote from a job description. Type a few sentences about the scope, attach photos or notes, and Sitetraq drafts the line items. You review, adjust, add what's missing.
2. Reuse and refine. Past quotes for similar jobs become templates. Materials and labor rates update automatically when you change them centrally.
3. Apply the markup the way you actually do it. Per-line markups, project-wide markups, contingency by category. No hidden formulas.
4. Send the customer a clean PDF. Branded with your business name, contact details, and license number. Quote validity dates and signature lines built in.
5. Track what happens. See when the customer opens the quote, when they approve, and follow up automatically when they don't.
6. Convert on accept. Approved quotes become jobs, with the line items already in place to feed progress invoicing.

AI in quoting, not as a separate chatbot

Most "AI quoting" today is a side panel you have to remember to open. In Sitetraq, AI is part of the quote itself. Paste a few lines of job scope or a customer email, and Sitetraq drafts a structured quote, line items, exclusions, and a starting price range, ready for your review. It flags inclusions you usually add but forgot this time. It suggests line items from similar past jobs.

You review every quote before it goes out. The aim isn't to remove the contractor's judgment, it's to remove the typing.

Quoting, jobs, invoices in one workspace

The biggest reason contractor software falls short isn't a missing feature, it's siloed data. A quoting-only tool is just one more place to enter information that needs to live somewhere else later. Sitetraq treats quoting as the front of the job pipeline:

• Approved quotes become jobs automatically.
• Job progress flows into progress invoices.
• Change orders show up as separate line items, not buried inside the original quote.
• Customer history follows a customer across quotes, jobs, and invoices.

If you're choosing between a stand-alone quoting tool and an integrated workspace, the integrated one wins about 95% of the time for a 4-to-50-person shop.

Built for the size of business that actually quotes its own work

Enterprise construction software was built for general contractors with estimators, project engineers, and procurement teams. The pricing reflects it, and so does the implementation timeline.

Sitetraq is built for the businesses that don't have those layers, but still send 5 to 50 quotes a month: residential builders, remodelers, roofing crews, HVAC and electrical contractors, painters, landscape and hardscape companies. Owner-operator shops up through 50 people. The workflow assumes the same person sometimes writes the quote, runs the job, and sends the invoice.

Frequently asked questions

What is construction quoting software?

Construction quoting software is a tool that helps contractors create, format, send, and track price quotes for construction work, covering line items, markups, exclusions, and customer-ready presentation. The better tools also handle the workflow after the quote: turning approved quotes into jobs and invoices.

How is construction quoting software different from a generic invoicing tool?

Generic invoicing tools assume one customer, one delivery, one invoice. Construction quoting has to handle change orders, retention, progress billing, multi-trade line items, and the legal distinction between an estimate and a quote. A generic tool gets the basics right and breaks on the details.

Does Sitetraq generate quotes with AI?

Yes. Sitetraq drafts quote line items, scope summaries, and exclusion lists from a short job description or a customer email, then asks you to review before sending. The AI handles the drafting, not the final decision.

Can I reuse line items across quotes?

Yes. Past quotes can be used as templates, materials and labor rates update centrally, and similar past jobs surface as suggested line items when you start a new quote.

Does Sitetraq turn approved quotes into invoices?

Yes. An approved quote becomes a job, and progress against that job converts directly into progress invoices, with change orders broken out as separate line items.

What is the difference between an estimate and a quote in Sitetraq?

Sitetraq supports both. An estimate is a best-guess number that may move; a quote is a fixed-price commitment. The document is labeled and legally weighted differently, which matters when a customer disputes the final invoice. More on the quote vs. estimate distinction →
