Software for floor layers — areas, prep, trims and add-ons priced properly
Hall, lounge, kitchen diner, stairs — floor layers quote on area but lose money on prep, levelling, door bars, reducers and the customer’s “small cupboard too”. Pro Quoter saves room measures, notes subfloor condition with photos, and builds quotes with prep, adhesive, trims and waste visible. Built by a tradesman. Simple, fast, useful — whether you lay LVT, vinyl, laminate or wood.
Flooring quotes miss the expensive bits
Area-only quote. No levelling day. Trims assumed. Stairs quoted as “extra” verbally. Customer moves fridge — you chip a tile on pull-out.
Example: 42m² LVT — quote is supply and fit m² only. Subfloor needs ply and grind. Two door bars per doorway forgotten. Margin gone on materials alone.
- Waste and cuts not in the maths
- Prep and moisture issues discovered late
- Trims, bars and reducers not line-itemed
- Small rooms and cupboards skipped in m²

FAQ
- LVT, vinyl, laminate — all supported?
- Your Price Book holds your rates per product type. Structure quotes the same — areas, prep, trims — wording matches what you lay.
- How do I quote stairs?
- Separate lines — per step, nosings, caps — not “stairs extra TBC”. Customer sees it; you protect the day.
- Customer supplies flooring?
- Quote labour, adhesive, prep, trims, disposal. Note storage and acclimatisation if relevant — scope clear on PDF.
- What about levelling compound?
- Line prep by m² or day rate with photo reason — not buried so you cannot charge when subfloor is rough.
