Service Quote Builder Agent

A complete quote at the target margin

Service Quote Builder Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Customers want a quote fast, but quoting from memory misses items and underprices labor. After a request or site visit, this agent lists tasks from the job notes and photos, and prices materials and labor from the tradesperson's own price book and past jobs. It adds permits where required, disposal and travel. It checks the quote against the 30% target margin and against similar past jobs. If the margin is low or the total is far off, it shows what is missing or low and reprices. It drafts the quote with clear exclusions. The tradesperson approves and sends it. Edge case: hidden conditions, like wiring behind walls, are listed as exclusions or allowances so the price does not surprise anyone later.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

An example run

What happensA bathroom fan replacement with new venting came to $380, while similar past jobs ran $520 to $610, so the check failed. The agent found the roof vent kit and 2 hours of attic work missing. With those added, the quote came to $575 at a 31% margin. It listed rotted roof decking as an allowance. The electrician approved and sent the quote that afternoon.
