Project Overview — Contractor Quote App MVP Project Name (Optional): Contractor Quote App Objective: We want to build a web-based application that allows contractors to quickly generate professional construction quotes for clients. The app should use AI to assist with cost estimation and produce branded, editable PDFs that can be emailed directly to clients. ________________________________________ Core Features (MVP) 1. User Registration / Login – Contractors can securely create accounts. 2. Dashboard – Simple view of quotes: drafts, sent, accepted. 3. New Quote Creation – Enter job description and client details. 4. AI-Powered Estimate – The app generates a structured cost breakdown using AI (materials, labor, and other costs). 5. Editable Quote Items – Contractors can manually adjust quantities, prices, or descriptions. 6. PDF Export & Email – Generate a professional PDF of the quote and send directly to clients. 7. Basic Client Management – Store client information for repeat use. ________________________________________ Optional / Future Features • Track client acceptance / decline of quotes. • Automatic reminders for unresponded quotes. • Digital signature for client approval. • Analytics: total quotes, revenue pipeline, accepted vs. rejected ratio. ________________________________________ Target Users • Small-to-medium contractors and sole traders in the construction industry. ________________________________________ Deliverables • Working web app MVP with all core features. • Fully functional AI-assisted quote generator. • Editable PDF export functionality. • Basic client management. • Source code and deployment instructions. ________________________________________ Timeline & Budget • Timeline: MVP expected in 2–3 months (negotiable) • Budget / Compensation Options: o Option 1: Pay a total of AUD $10,000 for full development of the MVP. o Option 2: Offer 20% equity in the company instead of full payment, allowing the developer to share in future revenue and growth. with possible payments along the way • Both options are negotiable depending on experience, involvement, and contribution. ________________________________________ Investor Option • Separately, we are keeping the investor option open to raise additional funding to help cover development, marketing, and scaling costs. ________________________________________ Notes • Focus on ease of use and professional-looking quotes. • The AI cost estimation should be editable and transparent — contractors can modify quantities and rates. • MVP only; advanced features can be added later • The app at first will be free. But later will be a paid version to allow cashflow.
