Why Roofers Lose Jobs Before Lunch
Three problems killing your win rate right now
You measure the job, drive home, open your laptop, and start typing. By the time your quote lands in the client's inbox, they've already accepted someone else's price — because that other roofer sent their quote from the driveway.
A voice note or a photo of a handwritten page won't win a R45,000 roofing job. Homeowners are choosing the roofer who sends a proper written proposal — because it signals that they run a proper business.
Without a signed agreement and deposit collected before you order materials, you're starting every job exposed. One client who changes their mind costs you days of time and hundreds in materials.
How TradiQuote Works for Roofers
Three steps. Four minutes. Quote done before you leave the roof.
Client name, job type, measurements, materials, and your price. Takes about 2 minutes. Works on any phone — no app download needed.
TradiQuote generates the professional scope, timeline, warranty notes, and payment terms. Reads like you wrote it — not like a robot did. Edit anything you want before sending.
You share a link via WhatsApp. Client opens it on their phone, reads the proposal, and signs digitally. A deposit invoice is created automatically and sent to them. You're notified the second it's signed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything SA roofers ask before signing up
Does TradiQuote work for both IBR and tiled roofs?
Yes. You choose your own line items and the AI adapts the scope to match. Whether it's IBR, cement tiles, clay tiles, or a flat waterproofed roof — TradiQuote writes the correct technical scope for that job.
Can I separate materials and labour in the quote?
Yes. You have full control over line items. Add materials and labour separately so clients can see exactly what they're paying for. You can save your common roofing line items as templates and reuse them on every quote.
How does the client sign the roofing quote?
Once you send the quote, your client receives a link via WhatsApp. They open it on their phone, read the full proposal, and draw or type their signature. You get a notification the moment it's signed, and a deposit invoice is created automatically.
What if I don't have internet on the roof?
TradiQuote works as a Progressive Web App (PWA) — install it to your phone's home screen and it loads even in poor signal conditions. You can complete the quote offline and send it once you're back in coverage.
Can I brand the quote with my company logo?
Yes. Upload your company logo in settings and it appears on every proposal and invoice you send. Your clients see your business name, logo, and contact details — not TradiQuote branding.
Do I need a written quote for roofing work in South Africa?
Yes — and it protects both you and the client. A written and signed quote is a legal agreement under South African law. It specifies exactly what's included, the price, and the payment terms. Without it, you have no protection if the client disputes the scope or refuses to pay. A digitally signed quote via TradiQuote is ECTA-compliant and legally valid in South Africa.
How do I quote a roof replacement in South Africa?
A professional roof replacement quote should include: roof area (m²), material specification (IBR gauge or tile type), timber/truss specification, rubble removal, gutters and downpipes if replacing, and labour as a separate line item. Always include a validity period (typically 30 days) since material prices change. Most SA roofers require 40–50% deposit before ordering materials.
