Digital quote approvals — get a clear yes before you rip out or order

‘I thought that was included’ kills margin. Digital quote approvals record that the customer saw the scope and said yes — before tanking, before ordering the kitchen, before first fix. Not corporate e-sign theatre — a clear approval on the quote you sent from the quote builder. Built by a tradesman who lost too many arguments to memory. Part of the Pro Quoter quote builder — enquiry, measure, quote, job and invoice in one thread.

Verbal yes is not scope

Customer nods on site. Three weeks later they deny the prep line. You have no written approval tied to the PDF they received.

Example: bathroom rip-out starts. Customer claims they did not agree to skip hire. Approved digital quote showed rip-out and waste lines — conversation over.

  • Yes in person, dispute in writing
  • Email ‘looks fine’ buried in thread
  • Variations not re-approved
  • No link between PDF sent and approval
