Recommended free quoting software structure

Start with customer details, site address, scope, preparation, products, labour, materials, exclusions, GST treatment, payment terms, validity period, and acceptance instructions. Keep it specific enough that the job can be handed to a crew without reinterpreting the quote.

Australian details to include

Use AUD amounts, clear GST wording, ABN or business details where needed, Australian phone/address formatting, and plain acceptance terms. For tax invoice-style documents, confirm the required details with your accountant.

When to move beyond a static template

A static template is fine for getting started. Once quotes need follow-up, job handover, scheduling, contractors, and accounting invoices, ATT is the more practical workflow.

Example workflow for Australian painting and decorating businesses

A practical ATT workflow starts when a lead arrives, captures site notes and measurements, builds the quote with Mate, follows up with the customer, converts accepted work into a job, schedules staff or subcontractors, records timesheets and supplier costs, sends progress invoices, and syncs the accounting handoff to Xero.

ATT is built around the day-to-day needs of Australian painting and decorating businesses rather than a generic trade workflow.

Example: residential repaint quote workflow

Start with the customer details, site address, surfaces, measurements, prep notes, paint system, labour allowance, materials, access, exclusions, GST, and payment stages. Once the customer accepts, ATT can turn the same quote into a scheduled job with contractor updates, costs, progress invoices, and the accounting handoff.

Template checklist for painting and decorating businesses

  • Prep, primer, paint system, number of coats, and exclusions.
  • Labour, materials, access equipment, waste, GST, and margin.
  • Acceptance terms, deposit, progress invoice stages, and expected start window.
