Core capabilities
Keep the quote useful to the business after it leaves the estimator.
CostForge focuses on the pre-work commercial process: organise the customer and job, build the quote, protect internal costing detail, present it professionally and record the customer response.
Labour costing
Use predefined staff roles and hourly rates to price labour consistently inside quote items.
Learn moreReusable quote templates
Save full quotes or item groups as templates, then import and adapt them for repeatable work.
Learn moreBranded client delivery
Generate client-facing quote output that uses your business branding and keeps internal margin or costing detail out of the client view.
Learn moreHow CostForge works
A clear route from enquiry to signed quote.
The workflow is deliberately narrower than a full ERP or project-management suite. CostForge concentrates on the client, job, quote, costing, delivery and approval steps before work is invoiced.
01
Create the client and job
Keep the customer record, job description and quote activity connected instead of spreading the commercial history across separate files.
02
Build the quote from job costs
Structure the quote with nested items, labour hours, material or service lines, tax settings and an internal margin before it reaches the client.
03
Send a branded client quote
Present a cleaner client-facing version while retaining internal costing detail and per-item visibility controls in the working quote.
04
Record the signed response
Send a tokenised public quote link so the client can provide their name and signature, then accept or decline without needing a staff account.
Current plans
Keep pricing facts in one place.
CostForge plans and capacity can change over time. Use the pricing page for the current package options, limits and commercial details rather than relying on copied plan information elsewhere on the site.

- Does the quote keep labour, line items and job context connected?
- Can internal costing detail stay separate from client-facing output?
- Can repeatable quote structures be reused without copying old files?
- Can the client provide a signed accept or decline response online?
