Estimates to jobs
Price it, get it approved, and the approved estimate becomes the job.
Free to try with sample data. Sign in with your email and it's added to your workspace, ready to change. Matrixcape Build is in private beta.
The work it's for
Retyping an approved estimate into the schedule is where details get lost. Estimators price the work from labor, materials with markup and any discount; estimates over $10,000 go past a manager first; the customer approves from their own login (or the office marks it approved after a call), and the approved estimate creates the job by itself with the amount, address and scope, linked back to the estimate and ready to schedule. Customers never see your material cost or markup, the price can't be changed once approved, and the customer is emailed at each step.
- Send consistent estimates with the math done for you
- Get customer approval without chasing signatures by email
- Turn approved work into a scheduled job without retyping it
- Know the win rate and what's out with customers
Try it. It's working software.

Make it yours.
Every template starts clean. After you customize it, change the look in Design or just ask: your colors and logo, fonts, corners, how compact it is, a board or a calendar, light or dark.
Change how it works, not just how it looks.
The steps, who approves what, the rules, the reminders and the emails it sends are yours to change. Say it the way you'd tell someone on your team. You see each change before your team does, and your team keeps using the live version until you publish.
Changes you can ask for
- “Ask for a 30% deposit on approved estimates over $5,000 and show it on the job.”
- “Raise the manager review threshold to $15,000.”
- “Email the customer the day before their job with the crew lead's name.”
- “Use our brand colors #166534 and #CA8A04.”
- “Show estimates as a table.”
One app in your Matrixcape workspace, not a separate subscription.
Start with one problem. Build the rest when you need it: every app you add lives in the same workspace, with one sign-in for your team. The same app works for an av installer, a catering company, a sign shop too.
Customize this uses no build credits.
