Quoting a whole doorset, not just the repair.
Sometimes the answer is not an adjustment, it is a new doorset. Door Quoting prices the leaf, the frame, the ironmongery and the fitting as one thing, from your own rates.
Section 01How to do it
-
01
Start from the failure where there is one
The inspection already knows which door, what failed and why, and a replacement quote should inherit all of it. You do not need one, though — a doorset can be quoted straight from the property when a client just wants a price.
-
02
Measure before you specify
Structural opening, leaf sizes, handing and the frame condition. A doorset ordered from an assumed size is the most expensive mistake available here, and it is not one the software can catch for you.
-
03
Specify the doorset
Configuration, rating, ironmongery and finish, with options appearing only where they apply. The choices are yours, priced from your own card, and the finished specification prints into the quote.
-
04
Decide supply-and-fit or supply-only
Price the doorset and the fitting as one line where you are doing both — it is what a client comparing quotes expects to see. Where the client has their own installer there is a supply-only preset, so the quote covers the doorset and stops there. Pick one deliberately and say which on the quote.
-
05
Attach the RAMS
Generated against the job rather than written out again, and attached to it.
-
06
Send, chase, schedule
Approved in the portal, chased if it goes quiet, then booked in with install scheduling.
Section 02What the app actually does here
- Twenty-one presets cover the common door types, from FD30S flat entrance to steel FD120 plant room
- Over two hundred configurable option values sit behind those presets
- Options show and hide conditionally — glazing options only appear once glazing is selected
- A live diagram redraws as the configuration changes
- The finished configuration prints into the quote PDF alongside the price
- Fire-door rates are held as their own rate card, with an undo on rate changes
- A doorset quote does not have to come from an inspection — it can start from the property and its door record when a client simply wants a replacement priced
- A supply-only preset exists for the jobs where the client is arranging their own installer
Section 03What goes wrong
Every one of these has cost somebody real time. They are cheap to avoid and expensive to unwind.
Get the common configurations signed off internally once, or every quote becomes a bespoke decision.
It is where margin quietly disappears on supply-and-fit work.
The findings tell you which. Let them.
