Be warned before you read further: this is not takeoff software. EstimateBird estimates one job at a time from lines you price yourself, then carries that estimate through acceptance and invoicing. If you need assemblies, a cost library, or a measured takeoff from drawings, you need a different category of tool.

Every item below is a behaviour the product ships today.
Price strip-out, structure, trades, plant, and waste as separate lines with quantities and unit rates that total live.
Mark provisional lines in the description and explain the basis in the customer note, so an indicative figure is never mistaken for a fixed price.
Material prices move. Each document carries an issue date and a valid-until date the customer can see.
The accepted document converts into a numbered invoice, and the payment state is tracked from there.
Created, sent, accepted, converted, and paid events are recorded against the document with the actor and timestamp.
Customer, site, labour, materials, currency, VAT rate, validity, and terms in one editor that totals as you type.
Email the quote, or mark it sent if you handed it over. The customer accepts on a private link that records their name, email, and the time.
Convert an accepted quote once into a separately numbered invoice, mark it paid, and keep the signed job report with it.
A short product does a few things well. Here is what it leaves to something else.
Each template opens in the real editor with its figures already in place.
No. For measured takeoff, cost libraries, and multi-package tendering you want a dedicated estimating suite. EstimateBird suits a small builder pricing one job from experience and needing the paperwork to follow through.
You can start from a worked template and edit it. There is no duplicate-document action or saved item library yet.
As a second quote for the extra work, acknowledged the same way as the first. There is no linked variation register or change-order workflow.
Open the workspace, set your company details once, and send a numbered quote in a few minutes.
