Set out the work. Make the fee clear.

Turn site notes or a client brief into a proposal for architecture, interiors or landscape design. Start with relevant stages and deliverables, then define your scope, exclusions and fees.

Before the work begins

A new project. The same proposal admin.

Before design begins, there is a scope to write, a fee to explain and a document to put together.

01
Starting from the last project.

Copying an old proposal means checking every stage, deliverable and assumption against the new brief. It is easy to carry over something that no longer fits.

02
Leaving room for assumptions.

Extra options, additional site visits or another round of revisions are harder to discuss when the original proposal leaves the limits unclear.

03
Bringing the details together.

Stages, fees, exclusions and payment terms need to tell the same story. Keeping them aligned takes attention before the proposal is ready to send.

Templates for your discipline

Start with stages that fit the project.

Choose architecture, interior design or landscape design, then select the project type. AirQuotes gives you a starting set of stages with deliverables under each one.

Adapt that structure to your appointment. Add or remove services, clarify exclusions and allocate the fee across the stages you are offering.

Stage sets per project type.
Start with a template for an extension, new build or another project type, then adjust the stages to match your appointment.
Deliverables under every stage.
Each stage arrives with its deliverable list written out, so the client reads what the fee covers at that point in the job.
Fee weighted across the stages.
Percentages sit on the stages you selected, and the totals recalculate when you add, remove or reorder one.
Your edits saved as a template.
Change a stage set once and save it to the studio library. The next proposal of that type opens with your version.

Edit the stages, deliverables and exclusions to match the services you are offering.

How it works

Your brief. Your proposal.

Start with the information you have. Review the draft, confirm the scope and fees, then share it with your client.

01
Add your brief.

Paste site visit notes, a client email or a call transcript to give the draft its project context.

02
Review the draft.

Review the stages and deliverables, define exclusions and set the fee for the services you are offering.

03
Send a link.

Share a branded proposal link for your client to read and sign, or export a PDF. Track visits to the shared proposal.

From draft to decision

Keep the details together.

Scope language and exclusions.

Set out what is included, what is excluded and how additional work will be handled. Save wording you want to reuse.

Terms and conditions.

Keep payment terms and other conditions with the proposal. Review and adapt the wording for each appointment before sharing.

Fee structure that matches how you bill.

Stage-weighted percentages, lump sum, or a percentage of construction cost. The maths holds together across the document.

E-signature.

Your client can review and sign the shared proposal in their browser.

View tracking.

See who opened the proposal and which sections they spent time reading, so you have context for your follow-up.

A place for every enquiry.

Keep deals and their proposals together. Move each opportunity through your pipeline as the conversation progresses.
