Proposal OS
Booking OSProposal software
for contractors.
The best proposal software for a renovation or trades business prices each job on your own rates, puts your brand on every page and gets the client's signature online. Most of the big names sell proposals as one feature inside a larger platform. This guide sets out what they cost, what you get, and the option built only for the quote.
A whole platform, to send a quote.
Field-service and construction platforms bundle proposals with scheduling, dispatch, invoicing and job costing. Here's each selling point next to what Proposal OS does instead.
Four platforms, side by side.

Your partOld quotes. One call. One review. We do everything else.
Proposal OS started as a proposal engine Atlas built for The Print HQ, a live print and embroidery studio in Sydney, which quotes its jobs through it. It's sold as Proposed, and you can try a working version yourself at proposed.world.
Your rates doing the maths.
Describe the job the way you'd say it, tick the tasks, and the price builds from your own rate table. Every quote sits on one pipeline, from draft to won. These screens are a demo set up for a renovation company.
Win the job before it starts.
Price it on your numbers
Labour by the hour, day or task, materials at your markup, measurements that price themselves, travel, access and disposal, tax and your deposit split, applied the same way on every quote.

What is the best proposal software for contractors?
The one that prices a job on your own rates, puts your brand on the page and gets the client's signature online, without making you learn a platform you don't need. Jobber and Housecall Pro include quotes and proposals inside field-service software; JobTread and Buildertrend include them inside construction management software. Proposal OS from Atlas does only the quote: your rate table wired in for you, a proposal in your brand, signed in the browser, with the deposit request emailed the moment the client signs.

How much does Buildertrend cost?

Do I have to change how I price to use Proposal OS?
No. Proposal OS is built around the way you already quote. You send 10 to 15 quotes you've already sent and have one 40-minute call, and your labour rates, materials, markups and allowances are wired in for you.
Does Proposal OS replace my job-management software?
No. It's the quote, the proposal and the pipeline: the part your client sees before they say yes. Keep whatever you run your jobs on.
Can clients sign a proposal on their phone?
Yes. The client opens a private link in their browser, with nothing to download, and signs with a typed or drawn signature. Their name, the date and the total they agreed to are recorded, and a signed copy goes to their inbox.
