Quote piping and steel without rebuilding the sheet.
Fitters, boilermakers and riggers as standard crews, consumables with markup, and difficulty factors for height and confined space, assembled into a quote in minutes and priced to the cent.
Free plan, no card. Built for plant, mine and factory work.
Sound familiar?
Labour is guessed, not built up
Fitter-plus-boilermaker-plus-rigger hours get rounded in someone's head instead of built from a crew and a rate.
Consumables vanish from the number
Gas, rods, discs and gaskets are real cost - and the easiest lines to forget when the quote is due by five.
Shutdown quotes go out late
The plant wants a number today; rebuilding a full mechanical scope in a spreadsheet means you send it tomorrow, second.
Your mechanical catalogue, built once
Rates, crews and consumables in one place, so a shutdown scope is minutes, not a morning.
- Crews by discipline
- Fitter, boilermaker, rigger, welder: each with an hourly rate; a standard action pulls the right crew onto the line.
- Consumables with markup
- Rods, discs, gas and gaskets carry cost and markup, so they're in the number every time, not remembered sometimes.
- Height & confined-space factors
- Working-at-height and confined-space multipliers scale the labour on the lines that need them.
- Fabrication + install packs
- A pipe-spool or a support-steel pack drops the standard products onto a line in one click.
After the shutdown scope is won
A shutdown is priced once and paid over months; the job keeps both halves straight.

Consumables as actual cost

How the money side works
Or see the whole money half in one place: job costing, billing and the books.
Mechanical estimating - common questions
Can I build labour from a crew rather than a single rate?
Yes. A standard action carries its standard crew, several labour types at once, so adding the action seeds all the labour lines at their hourly rates. You adjust hours per line.
Can I enter labour in minutes for short lines?
Yes. Each labour line takes hours or minutes; the rate stays per hour and Quotier converts, so a 40-minute line is priced correctly with no manual maths.
How fast can I get a shutdown quote out?
From an existing catalogue you assemble lines from your standard actions and send a branded PDF the same day. From sign-up to your first quote is usually an afternoon.
Is there a record of every revision?
Yes. Sending freezes the prices; revising creates a new numbered version and keeps the previous one viewable, with who built, sent and accepted each - and when.
The main contractor wants our number - do we have to send our sheet?
No. On a shared Quotier job you price the mechanical scope in your own account and share only what you choose up the chain: the total alone, the line titles, or the full breakdown. The main contractor imports it as a line - no retyping, and no sight of your rates unless you granted it.
