The document that wins the job
is the slowest thing you make.
You quote small jobs in minutes. Then a real one comes in — a build with stages, a deposit, a dozen line items and a customer who wants to see what they are getting — and you are back in Word at nine at night, retyping numbers off a sheet you already wrote them on.
And speed still decides who wins. A proposal that takes a week is a proposal that arrives after somebody else’s.

Photograph the drawing.
Get the proposal.
Every other tool assumes you are at a desk, typing into a form. You are in a yard with a pencil. Photograph the sheet you already filled in — the sketch, the components down the margin, the prices — and the quantities and prices come back as editable line items, with the transcription of your page shown beside them so you can check every one.
| Item | Qty | Rate | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fibreglass shell, 14′ × 30′ | 1 | $38,500 | $38,500 |
| Excavation & haul-off | 1 | $6,200 | $6,200 |
| Plumbing run | 60 ft | $52.50 | $3,150 |
| Decking | 400 sq ft | $29.50 | $11,800 |
| Section subtotal | $59,650 |
From quote — or paper —
to a signable document.
Start From the Quote
A submitted quote becomes a proposal in one click. Line items, customer and reasoning come with it — you are editing, not re-entering.
Or Start From the Paper
Photograph the sheet. We read the handwriting and hand you line items, with a transcription of the page beside them so you can check every one. Nothing goes into the proposal until you tick it.
Make It a Document
Write the scope in your words. Group the work into stages with subtotals. Add options they can say yes to later. Set the deposit and the payment stages.
Send It
A branded PDF from your own email address, with signature lines for both sides, or as a Docusign envelope from your own Docusign account. Attach your drawing as a final page if you want — cropped, so your costings stay yours.
Everything a real proposal needs.
Nothing it doesn’t.
Scope In Your Words
A narrative of the work above the numbers — what is included, how it will run, written the way you would say it.
Sections With Subtotals
Line items grouped into stages — site work, shell, finishing — each with its own subtotal that adds up to the whole.
Optional Extras
Alternates and add-ons, priced and shown but excluded from the total — easy for the client to say yes to later.
Deposit & Payment Schedule
A deposit as a percentage or a fixed amount, and a payment schedule that reconciles to the total exactly — computed, never hand-added.
Your Terms, Your Signatures
It prints your terms — it does not supply them — with signature blocks for both parties and sequential proposal numbers.
Branded PDF, Your Email
Sent as a branded PDF from your own email identity — it comes from you, not from a platform your client has never heard of.
Honest about
its edges.
It does not replace your e-signature provider. Sign through your own Docusign account, or use the signature lines on the PDF. It does not write your terms; it prints yours. And it does not invent numbers: every total is computed from the line items you approved.
If the page you photographed disagrees with the arithmetic, it says so and lets you decide. It never silently picks one.
- Exactsections, deposit, balance and payment schedule reconcile to the cent — a six-figure document whose milestones miss by a cent loses an argument
- Checkedthe transcription of your sheet is shown beside every parsed line, and nothing is added until you tick it
- Yoursyour documents produce your proposals and are stored for you — they are not used to train a model
- Privatean attached drawing is cropped by you and off by default, so your costings stay off the client’s copy
Work that is too big to win with a quote.
The same businesses that run QuoteForge, at the top of their job-size range — where the job has phases, a deposit, and a customer who wants to see what they are getting before they sign. The tell: you send a quote for small jobs and write something longer in Word for the big ones. That Word document is what this replaces.
We will tell you if it is not a fit
- If your work is a single line item, a QuoteForge quote already does the job — you do not need this.
- If you already run a proposal tool you like, keep it. This is built for QuoteForge customers, not as a switch.

An extension of QuoteForge.
A quote says what it costs. A proposal is what somebody signs. QuoteForge+ Proposals runs in the same workspace as QuoteForge — one login, one invoice, quotes and proposals together.
Priced per business, from a conversation.
Pricing depends on how much you quote and how you work — tell us both and we will give you a number. QuoteForge+ Proposals is added to your existing QuoteForge subscription: one invoice, one renewal.
- Added to your QuoteForge subscription — one invoice, one renewal
- Quote forms and instant quoting included, not an upsell
- Your documents stay yours — never used to train a model
