Start with your project type and a location and Blu will create a complete, editable estimate.

Follow these steps to begin using the Blu: Estimate generator:

  1. Navigate to Estimates.

  2. Click on Create New.

3. Select Blu: Estimate generator.

4. On the following page you will see that you are given the option of two project types from which to generate an estimate. Please note: Once you have a template generated you are free to add additional categories and items. Work is continuing on this feature with more templates coming soon.

5. This is where you can provide any important details about your project, such as fixtures and fittings, waterproofed areas, type of tiles etc. This information helps to generate the requirements of the estimate. When you select a project type, a sample prompt will appear in this box (as shown in the example below). You are free to delete, edit and/or change the prompt.

6. Before generating your estimate, please include the location of your project. This helps to make your quote more accurate.

7. Click on Estimate Generator.

Quote totals are displayed at the bottom of the screen. The quote is fully editable and can be changed and updated if needed before sending to your client.
