How Builders Used The QBE SYSTEM To Turn Around Quotes in 3 Days
In this episode, Haydn Simmons from Price A Plan joins Brendan from The Professional Builder to discuss why estimating is one of the most misunderstood and time-consuming parts of running a building business. They explore how better systems, structured pre-construction processes, and quality estimating can help builders save time, improve profitability, qualify better clients, and deliver a smoother experience from enquiry through to construction. If you’re looking to spend less time quoting and more time building your business, this episode is packed with practical insights.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- Why estimating is one of the biggest pressure points in residential building.
- How a Quality Budget Estimate (QBE) helps qualify clients before investing hours into a full quote.
- Why detailed estimating saves time throughout the entire build, not just before contract.
- When outsourcing estimating makes more sense than employing an in-house estimator.
- How better systems help builders win more work while spending less time quoting.
- Why investing in professional support allows builders to spend more time leading their business and less time behind a computer.
