Frequently Asked Questions

If my client accepts an estimate, how do I bill them for the work?

You can easily convert your Estimate into an Invoice and collect payment. Once the Estimate has been reviewed by your Client, you can click on the “More Actions” button on the Estimate and then select “Convert to Invoice”. You will then be taken to the New Invoice page, where you can build the rest of your Invoice. You can either send the Invoice to your client or save it as a draft.

Before creating and sending an estimate can I customize it?

Yes, you can customize the style of your project estimate in the following ways:

  • Theme Colour – This will change the colour of your headings (e.g., Description, Rate, Estimate Number). It will also change the banner colour at the top of your Estimate on the Modern template.
  • Font – You can choose between Helvetica (Modern) and Garamond (Classic).
