Quotations
Interior quotations with versions, GST and a full change log
Interioflow builds quotations from the material assigned to a site, labour charges and your own custom lines, each with quantity, rate and GST. You send the client a PDF, they approve it with a code, and every revision becomes a new version with a full change log.

How versioned quotations works
Build a quotation with GST and send it for approval. A real recording of Interioflow with a sample studio's data, 107 seconds.
The problem
An interior project rarely has one quotation. There is the first estimate, then the wardrobe the client added, then the countertop upgrade. When those live in separate Excel files and email threads, nobody is sure which number is the real one.
What you get
- GST per line and per material
- Additive versions: the site total is the sum of approved quotations
- A change log of every edit, with who made it
- Material and labour can be quoted together in one document
- Clients see the quotation, never your purchase rates or markup
How it works
-
1
Build from what you know
Pull in material already assigned to the site at its assign rate, add labour lines and custom items.
-
2
Get the internal sign-off
If your studio wants it, a senior designer approves before anything leaves the office.
-
3
Send the PDF
The client receives the quotation by email with the PDF attached, and it waits in their portal.
-
4
Approvals add up
Each approved version adds to the site total, so additions never overwrite what came before.
Questions about versioned quotations
Can I revise a quotation after sending it?
Yes. A revision becomes a new version. The earlier version and the client's answer to it stay in the history.
Does the quotation show my margin to the client?
No. The client sees quantities, rates and totals you quote. What you paid the vendor stays inside the studio.
Can I quote labour as well as material?
Yes. Labour and miscellaneous charges recorded on the site can go onto the same quotation.
