ONE-CLICK ESTIMATE TEMPLATES:
CUT ESTIMATING TIME BY 80%
By Better Boss · Certified JobTread Implementation Partner · 5 min read
One of the biggest time-wasters in contracting is building estimates from scratch every single time. If you're manually typing in materials, labor rates, and line items for every job, you're leaving hours on the table every week. JobTread's estimate templates solve this completely.
THE GOOD / BETTER / BEST STRATEGY
The most powerful way to use JobTread templates is to build three tiers for your most common services:
HOW TO BUILD YOUR TEMPLATES
Step 1: Build Your Cost Catalog
Go to Settings → Cost Catalog and add your most-used materials and labor rates. Keep naming consistent so your team can find items quickly and pricing stays accurate.
Step 2: Create Assemblies for Common Scopes
An assembly is a group of cost items bundled together. A "Roof Tear-Off Assembly" might include labor, dumpster rental, felt paper, and disposal — all priced and ready to go.
Step 3: Build Your Estimate Templates
Create a new estimate, add your assemblies and line items, and save it as a template. Name it clearly: "Standard Roof Replacement - 20 Sq." Load it into any future estimate with one click.
Step 4: Add Selection Fields for Variables
Use JobTread's selection sets to add dropdowns inside your templates — shingle brand, warranty level, etc. Customize estimates on the fly without building a new template for every variation.
