Questions for you ๐Ÿ”จ

Short list of things Kaleb genuinely can't work out from his end โ€” they need someone who actually buys the material and builds the thing.

Answer one and you've helped. This isn't a survey and there's no finish line โ€” a sentence each is plenty, and skipping three of the four is completely fine.

Answer how you actually do it, not how you figure it's supposed to be done. There's no right answer on this page.

If you and your partner answer these differently, that's a result โ€” not a disagreement.

Two contractors doing it two ways tells Kaleb the app needs a setting instead of a fixed rule, which is genuinely useful to know. So don't check with anybody first, and don't worry about lining up โ€” different answers are worth more than matching ones.

If you need 8ft joists, do you buy 16s and get two out of each? Or do the saw cut and a bad end mean you can't count on exactly two?

Right now the app assumes you get exactly two, every time. If that's optimistic it's quietly short-ordering you.

Do you add a waste factor when you bid, or do you just order what the takeoff says?

Kaleb has heard it both ways already, so "never touch one" is a real answer and not the wrong one.

Do you ever wonder whether a different board length would've come out cheaper โ€” or do you just buy what you always buy?

Blunt answers welcome here. "Whatever fits on my trailer" saves Kaleb building something nobody asked for.

When the two of you bid one job together, how do you actually split it? One phone passed back and forth, each of you doing part, or one person doing the whole quote?

It's come up that the app could make joint bids quicker. Kaleb wants to know how it really goes on site before changing anything for it.

Answered โ€” thank you

Shelf tag or receipt after tax? One of you said: shelf price on each item, then tax on the whole material list at the end. The app now works that way โ€” sales tax goes on once, at the end of the list, instead of on every line.

Answer by email

Opens your mail app already addressed and filled in โ€” type under the ones you want, hit Send.

No mail app on this phone? Text Kaleb the answers instead, or send them from the app the usual way: Settings โ†’ Testing & Feedback โ†’ Report a Bug works fine for this โ€” he reads them all the same.

Partial answers are the normal case โ€” send what you've got and send more whenever. ยท Tester guide ยท Quote v0.1.0 ยท updated September 30, 2026
