The problem
Why plumbing estimates eat your evenings
Small parts eat the margin
Connectors, valves, a drain pan, an expansion tank. Leave them off and the job pays less than you thought.
Customers want the price on the call
A water heater customer with no hot water is calling three plumbers. The first clear price usually wins.
Code items vary by town
Permits, expansion tanks and venting change the number. Arez adds the permit line so it is never forgotten, and you set the amount.
How Arez handles it
One sentence in, an itemized plumbing estimate out
- Arez reads the job and tells you what it assumed: same location and venting; gas line in good condition; expansion tank required.
- It builds the estimate with your labor rate and your 20% markup. Labor is in hours, so it is easy to check.
- Change anything by saying it, then send it as a proposal the customer signs on their phone.
