Bill of materials and quotes

The bill of materials lists what your design needs, measured from the plan on every floor. Add unit prices and it becomes a quotation with a subtotal, tax and an estimated total. Prices and quote details are saved with the project.

Steps

1. Click Materials in the top bar to open Bill of materials & quotation.
2. Check the quantities, grouped as Furniture & fixtures, Flooring, Paint, Doors & windows and Walls & trim.
3. Choose a Currency.
4. Type a Unit price on each line. The Total column and the Estimated total update as you type.
5. Open Quote details and tax and fill in Client name, Quote reference, Quote date, Valid for (days), Tax name, Tax rate (%) and Notes and terms.
6. Click PDF quote for an A4 quotation, or CSV for a spreadsheet.

How quantities are measured

• Furniture is counted by model and size.
• Flooring is the net area of each finish plus 8% cutting waste.
• Paint is the wall area of each colour, minus openings, for two coats at about 10 m² per litre.
• Doors and windows are counted by type and size.
• Walls and trim include wall length and skirting.

Tips and limits

• Lines without a price are left out of the total, and the window tells you how many lines are unpriced.
• Quantities are estimates from the design. Allow for site conditions, and check with your supplier before ordering.
• With a tax rate set, the totals show a subtotal and tax line using your tax name, such as VAT.
• The Materials button is hidden on small screens. Use a wider window to open it.
• The bill of materials is also included in the drawings set.
