Add Custom Pricing Rules

Know what’s converting and grow without guessing.

Manual quoting is where margins disappear - missed labour days, inconsistent markups, and “rough estimates” that don’t match the job. With custom rates, you define how your business prices installs, and Quotestack applies your rules automatically on every quote - fast, consistent, and profitable.

Key Benefits

Price consistently

Standardise labour days, materials allowances, and margin rules so every quote is priced the same way - no matter who creates it.

Protect your profit

Bake in contingency and prevent missed costs like parking, materials, and electrical works that quietly erode margin.

Quote faster

Select the install type and key options once Quotestack applies labour days, margins, and cost rules automatically.

Reduce costly omissions

Trigger the right extras automatically (like pumps or electrician costs) so you stop forgetting important items.

Simple setup during onboarding

Configure your rates once, then test a real quote.

Add your install types and set typical labour days for each

Set margins, materials allowances, parking, and contingency rules

Create simple logic rules (e.g., >13A adds electrician; internal wall adds pump)

Run a test quote to confirm totals and presentation look right

FAQs

  • Can I add daily costs like parking automatically?

    Yes. Set a daily parking cost and it can apply based on the number of install days.

  • Can I include electrician costs only when required?

    Yes. Set a rule so electrician costs are added when the installation exceeds 13A.

  • Can I add contingency as a percentage?

    Yes. Apply a contingency percentage automatically to help protect margin on every quote.

  • How do materials costs work?

    You can include a materials allowance or rule so it’s consistently applied, reducing omissions.

  • Can the system add extras like water/condensate pumps automatically?

    Yes. Set conditional add-ons, for example adding a pump when the indoor unit is on an internal wall.

Price smarter. Protect margin on every quote.

Stop guessing labour and markups standardise pricing and quote with confidence.

Why It Matters

The Old Way Doesn’t Work

Manual quoting often misses “small” costs - parking, materials, electrician time, pumps - which add up and destroy margin.

A Better Flow

Custom rates turn your pricing into a repeatable model: labour days, margins, allowances, and rules are built into the quote journey.

Work Smarter, Not Harder

Instead of remembering every exception, your rules trigger the right costs automatically, so quoting stays fast and consistent.

What You Gain

More consistent profit, fewer pricing mistakes, faster quoting, and a cleaner journey from estimate to booked survey.

Real-World Scenarios

Problem

We keep forgetting to include parking and small materials costs.


Quotestack solution

Add daily parking and materials rules so they’re included automatically.

Problem

Some jobs need an electrician, others don’t.

Quotestack Solution

Use a >13A rule to automatically add electrician costs only when required.

Problem

We underquote because there’s no contingency for unknowns.

Quotestack solution

Apply a contingency percentage to protect margin on every quote.

Problem

Internal wall installs often need a condensate pump.

Quotestack Solution

Add conditional logic so pumps are included when internal wall is selected.
