More than the document
A neat PDF is not enough if the price underneath it is guesswork.
QuercusQuote adds confidence to your quote by showing you the breakeven, chosen profit and assumptions behind the price. Those internal workings stay private, while your client receives a clear professional estimate. You remain in control of the final commercial judgement, with a sound basis for the figure you send.
It works alongside your existing diary, accounting package or CRM rather than trying to manage the whole business.
From hesitation to a defensible quote

The detail, when you want it
A focused quoting loop built from real arborist economics.
The important answer comes first. Open the sections below for the fuller explanation.
How the quoting loop works+
Add the crew, expected time, plant, hire, disposal and optional quote-preparation time. QuercusQuote allocates operating costs, calculates breakeven and shows your intended profit separately before producing a clear customer estimate.
Explore the product →For business owners and contractors+
Tree-business owners can account for crews, equipment and overheads across customer work. Self-employed arborists and contractors can use the same structure to build a sustainable day rate or fixed price around what they personally provide.
See who it is for →What the AI-assisted review does+
Once jobs are completed, QuercusQuote compares the estimate with the actual outcome and analyses patterns within your own job history. It highlights possible repeated under-allowances and stronger combinations without automatically changing your prices.
See how job review works →Why an arborist built it+
QuercusQuote grew from the pricing problems faced by a lead and contract climber, Royal Forestry Society member and small-business owner—not from a generic software template. The aim is to make sound job-costing practical and help good firms step away from the race to the bottom.
