Materials are most of the quote
Labour is predictable; stone, plants and soil are not. A quote that does not separate them cannot be adjusted honestly.
Landscaping
Projects have change orders. Plan for them.
Landscaping sits between recurring maintenance and construction. The quoting is project work, the delivery runs for days, and the scope moves once the ground is open.
What the work actually involves
The parts generic software gets wrong.
Scope changes mid-project
The customer adds a bed, the drainage is worse than it looked. Unrecorded changes become unpaid work.
Weather rewrites the schedule
Three days of rain moves everything. The calendar has to be re-plannable, not rebuilt from texts.
In ManePilot
How the workflow maps to it.
- Estimates that itemise the work so changes can be priced rather than absorbed
- Multi-day scheduling with crew assignment for project delivery
- Customer and property history kept for follow-up and maintenance contracts
Questions
Asked by landscaping businesses.
Can I quote a project rather than a visit?
Yes. Estimates carry multiple services and add-ons, and approved work moves through to the job.
Can I run maintenance and projects in one place?
Recurring visits and one-off project work sit on the same schedule against the same customer record.
