A quote is where many small businesses lose time and margin: prices retyped from a spreadsheet, tax worked out by hand, and a PDF that disappears into an inbox. We build quote and estimate tools around your own price list for businesses in Surrey, across the Lower Mainland and elsewhere in Canada, from a calculator on your website to the quote builder your team uses every day.
We quote our own clients with a tool we built and run daily. In NameCRM our quotes offer up to four options with add-ons, are accepted online and raise the deposit invoice on acceptance, and we see which sections a client read.
Every tool starts from how you price today: by the hour, by the square foot, by the package or by the option. The free assessment looks at that first, and the scope and estimate for the tool itself come in writing before any work begins. When a price depends on a site visit, the quote pairs with online booking, so the customer books the visit online and the estimate follows from what was measured.

4options per quote
Up to four options on one quote
A quote can offer up to four options, each priced on the server with tax, deposit and an optional monthly fee, and the option the client picks becomes the price everywhere.
See NameCRM - NameCRM
Add-ons and a question box
Clients tick optional add-ons on the quote page and ask a question in a box that reaches you, on any phone.
- NameCRM
Accepted online, deposit invoiced
A client accepts by typing their name, with the time and IP recorded, and acceptance raises the deposit invoice, drafts the balance and tells you.
- NameCRM
Which sections they read
NameCRM shows which sections of a quote the client read and for how long, so you know whether they reached the price or the terms before you call.

Fixed packages in Estimate Studio
Fixed-price packages are built from line items that describe the scope, with a discount as a target price, an amount or a percent, tax on top or included, and installment plans.
- NameCRM
One calculation from quote to invoice
One money calculation feeds the estimate, the quote, the letter, the invoice and the PDF, so the price a client agreed never appears differently anywhere else.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Can you build a quote calculator for our website?
Yes. A calculator on your site asks for what drives your price, such as rooms, square footage or a package, shows a range or a firm price, and sends the request into your CRM as a contact. We write the rules from your own price sheet, and say plainly where a site visit still has to set the final number.
Do you sell quoting software, or build it for us?
We build it for you. Your prices, tax rules, wording and templates live in a tool made around how you sell, in your brand, instead of a subscription shaped for every trade at once. If a packaged tool would do the job well enough, the free assessment says so, and we can set that up instead.
Can clients accept a quote online?
Yes. In NameCRM a client accepts online by typing their name, with the time and IP address recorded. Acceptance raises the deposit invoice, drafts the balance invoice and tells you at once, so nobody retypes the quote into an invoice by hand.
Who owns the quote tool and our price list?
You do. Your price list, rate card and every quote are your business records, and the tool we build for you is yours once the project is paid. Parts made by others stay under their own licences. In NameCRM, one click exports every record as spreadsheet files, so your quotes never depend on us.
Can an accepted quote turn straight into an invoice?
Yes, and that is the point of building it in one place. One money calculation feeds the quote, the letter, the invoice and the PDF, and acceptance raises the deposit invoice and drafts the balance. Nothing is retyped, so the price a client agreed is the price on every document after it.
Can we tell whether a client has read the quote?
Yes. NameCRM shows which sections a client read and for how long, so you know whether they reached the price or the terms. A quote is only marked viewed when the client opens it, never when your staff preview it, and a draft is never marked viewed.
How is a quote or estimate tool priced?
By how you price and where the quote goes next. A calculator on your website is smaller work than a quote builder with options, online acceptance and a deposit invoice. After the free 30-minute assessment you get a written estimate, GST added on top. Call 604-900-2060 for pricing, or read how our pricing works.
Will it work with QuickBooks Online?
Yes. In NameCRM every customer, estimate, invoice, payment and refund is mirrored to QuickBooks Online with the same numbers, so your bookkeeper works in QuickBooks without entering anything twice. The quote is the first link in that chain, which is why we build the quote and the books as one flow.
