AI quoting assistant

Quote sent before the other guy picks up the phone. Send a voice note. Drop a few site photos. Get a professional, itemised quote ready to send in under 10 minutes. The average manual quote takes 45 minutes or more.

Speed in quoting is not a nice-to-have. It is the difference between a full calendar and a quiet week. Thirty to forty percent of leads are lost purely because a competitor responded first.

The real cost of slow quoting

You finish the job. Someone else wins the next one.

It is Tuesday afternoon. You wrap up a call-out in Mississauga. Back in the van, you have three new inquiries on WhatsApp, a missed call from a referral, and a note to send yesterday’s quote. You open Excel, find last month’s template, start typing line items from memory.

By the time you send it, the customer in Etobicoke has already hired someone else. Not because your price was wrong. Because you were second.

With Duuabl

Under 10 minutes, from your phone

Voice note or site photos in. Structured, trade-specific quote out. Ready to send before you start the engine.

Input

Talk through the job. Duuabl structures it.

Walk the site and record a voice note. Take photos of what needs replacing. Or paste the customer’s WhatsApp message directly. Any format you already use on the job works as input.

Duuabl reads it, pulls out the scope, and builds the line item breakdown. You do not retype anything you have already said or seen.

  • Voice notes transcribed and parsed into structured scope automatically
  • Site photos analysed for visible damage, fittings, and materials
  • WhatsApp and SMS messages accepted directly as job input
  • No forms to fill out — describe the job the way you already talk about it

Line items

Trade-specific. Not a blank template.

Duuabl ships with labour and material line items built for plumbers, electricians, and renovation contractors working in Ontario and BC. When you describe a hot water heater swap, the relevant supply-and-install breakdown is already structured.

You review and confirm. You do not build from zero. Your rates are remembered across jobs. No re-entering defaults you have set a dozen times before.

  • Pre-loaded SKUs for plumbing, electrical, and renovation trades
  • Labour and materials broken out as separate line items by default
  • Your standard rates saved and applied automatically on each new quote
  • Optional line items supported — flag items as pending client confirmation

Accuracy

Every job makes the next estimate tighter.

Duuabl learns your actual costs, your margins, and your pricing patterns as you work. A quote you produce in month six will be more accurate than the one you did in month one.

When a job completes, what you actually spent feeds back into future estimates for the same scope. No separate data entry. The system closes the loop.

  • Actual job costs fed back automatically on completion — no manual logging
  • Estimates tighten over time as your real pricing patterns are learned
  • Margin protection built in — you see the gap between quoted and actual on every job
  • Material price drift flagged when your costs move outside historical range

Illustrative projection. Accuracy depends on job type consistency and data entered on completion.
