Wareloft

Most estimating templates are just a spreadsheet with headings.

You buy one, open it, and realise you still have to build the price book, write the formulas, and figure out where markup goes. That's the part that takes a weekend.

Wareloft workbooks come with that part done. Every estimator ships with a real price book for its trade — 45 to 96 line items, priced and unit-costed — plus labour burden, overhead, markup and margin already wired in, and a clean quote sheet with your business name on it to hand the customer.

What you get

A trade-specific price book, not a blank grid
Cost, overhead, markup and margin calculated for you
A customer-facing quote page that doesn't show your costs
Works in Excel 2016+ and Google Sheets. No macros, nothing to install
Instant download, no subscription, no account needed
Who it's for
Contractors and service businesses doing their own estimating — roofing, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, painting, landscaping, cleaning, concrete and more. If you're quoting from memory or rebuilding the same spreadsheet for every job, this replaces it.

Not sure yet? There are free pricing guides for most of these trades at wareloft.com/guides, covering labour burden, markup vs margin, and what to actually charge. Read one, then decide.
