We help turn it into a clear, structured quotation or costing package.** Built for contractors and small construction businesses that need reliable commercial documents without employing a full-time estimator or back-office team. No compulsory meeting and no software setup required. We confirm the scope and price before work starts. You remain in control of the final quotation and approve it before you issue it to your customer. ![Astute Growing Pains](https://www.astuteimpact.com/hubfs/Astute%20Growing%20Pains.png "Astute Growing Pains") ## Launch Pricing **Essential Quotation — R950** For a small repair, alteration or single-scope job where the information is clear and the quotation can be prepared without extensive quantity build-up. **Standard Quotation & Costing — R1,950** For a multi-item or multi-trade SME job requiring structured materials, labour, equipment or transport allowances, assumptions, exclusions and a customer-ready quotation. **Detailed Project Costing — from R3,950** For larger or more complex work involving substantial drawings, multiple trades, deeper quantity and cost build-up, scopes or supporting schedules. **Recurring Contractor Support — quoted after the first job** We first learn your normal workload and complexity before proposing ongoing monthly support. *One normal review/correction round is included. Material scope changes or substantial new information may require a revised service price. Final classification depends on the quality of the information supplied, number of work areas or trades, quantity and pricing effort, and required deliverables.* ### Quotation Preparation Turn your scope, measurements, drawings, photos and available pricing into a structured customer-ready quotation. ### Costing & Resource Breakdown Build a practical breakdown of materials, labour, equipment, transport and other job costs from the information available. ### Scopes & Variations Structure scopes of work, additions and variations so the work, assumptions and commercial changes are clearly documented. ## What to Send Us Start with the information you already have. To identify and assess the job correctly, please include: - Your full name, business name, mobile or WhatsApp number and email address - The project or job name and location - A brief description of the work and the document you need: quotation, costing, scope, variation or a combination - Your required-by date — this helps us assess capacity but is not yet a delivery promise - Scope of work, tender document or job description - Measurements, drawings or plans where available - Site photographs or marked-up images where useful - Supplier quotations or confirmed material prices, if you have them - Your labour rates, subcontractor prices or preferred allowances, if applicable - Any existing quotation, BOQ, client format or commercial requirements we must work from Drawings, BOQs, spreadsheets, supplier quotations and large files may need to be sent by email after your enquiry is received. We will tell you what is still missing before confirming the service scope, price and turnaround. ### Important Commercial Boundaries - Astute Impact prepares documentation from the evidence and pricing information supplied or clearly identified as provisional. - Unconfirmed supplier prices, quantities, rates and assumptions are flagged for your review rather than presented as confirmed facts. - You remain responsible for approving the final selling price, margin, contractual terms and customer issue. - The service does not replace regulated professional certification, engineering design or quantity-surveying sign-off where those are legally or contractually required. - One normal correction/review round will be included in the agreed service scope. Material scope changes, redesigned work or substantial new information may require a revised service scope and price. - Turnaround is agreed after reviewing the job information. Urgent work is accepted only when capacity allows. ## How the Service Works **A simple remote workflow designed around the information contractors already use.** ![ChatGPT Image Jul 29, 2026, 10_29_53 PM](https://www.astuteimpact.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ChatGPT%20Image%20Jul%2029%2c%202026%2c%2010_29_53%20PM.png?width=1319&height=1193&name=ChatGPT%20Image%20Jul%2029%2c%202026%2c%2010_29_53%20PM.png "ChatGPT Image Jul 29, 2026, 10_29_53 PM") ### 1.
