Quoting by trade — FAQ
Is Hovea a good quoting app for builders?
Yes — Hovea drafts from your price book and writes a plain-English scope, so a deck, a patio or a reno comes through with your rates and a clear description the customer can actually read. You review the numbers before anything sends.
Can it handle bigger jobs with lots of line items?
Yes. Describe the scope and Hovea drafts the line items; you add, edit or reorder as needed. Everything stays in integer-cent GST-correct maths, so the totals are right no matter how many lines.
Is Hovea a good quoting app for carpenters?
Yes — Hovea drafts from your price book, so decking, pergolas, framing and built-ins come through with your timber prices and labour rate. Describe the job and you get a GST-correct quote to review and send.

Whatever you charge by. Put your rates in your price book — per m², per room, per day — and Hovea drafts quotes using them.
