Invite only while it is early
Draw the pool. The price is already done.
Pool Forge is estimating software for pool builders. You draw the job in your browser and it prices itself from your own price book while you draw. The customer proposal and the construction set come out of that same drawing, so they cannot disagree with it.
Your price book, imported. From the spreadsheet you already keep. Each import lands as a new version, so the last one stays intact.
One book for the whole company. Your salespeople quote from the current version instead of the copy you emailed out in March.
Send the proposal as a link. The customer opens it on their phone, with nothing to install, and accepts it there.
Screen enclosures are part of it, not an afterthought.
Ask for access
Two of these decide who we call first: how many people would be quoting with it, and what you estimate with today.
The thing itself
And the quote, at the same moment
Every measurement below feeds line items priced from your book. Heater, salt system, lights and a screen enclosure are choices that move the same total, and your sales tax is applied on every surface that prints a number.
The measurements are read off the drawing, not typed in beside it. Change the pool and all of them change with it.
What that prices out to
Six lines, the units they are sold in, and a total that is the sum of them rather than a number somebody typed at the bottom.
Example figures. The lines, the units and the prices come from your book, not ours.

What it does today
All of it, in the browser. Nothing to install, no graphics card to buy, no Windows requirement.
Priced while you draw
Pull the pool to 32 by 16 and the surface area, perimeter, gallons, deck area and coping run change with it. Each of those feeds line items from your price book, and the running total in the corner moves as you work. No takeoff sheet, no second pass.
Your price book, not ours
Import the Excel you already keep: upload it, map your columns, check the preview, save. It lands as a new version rather than piling on top of the last one, the version it replaced stays readable, and a saved quote records which version priced it. A wrong file is something you can back out of.
One book, no copies
Everyone in your company quotes from the current version of one book. There is no file to email around and no way for somebody to be working from a stale copy of it.
Documents from the drawing
A customer proposal, a construction packet at 11 by 17, a site plan, and a screen enclosure RFQ, all generated from the same project. Print them, or save them as PDF from the browser.
Checked before it leaves
Seventeen rules read the project and the drawing: a customer with no address on file, a deep end shallower than the shallow end, a deck drawn with no material chosen, a proposal with no expiry date, a quote that totals nothing. They flag it while you can still fix it.
The last mile
Send the proposal as a link. The customer opens it in any browser, on a phone, with nothing to log into, and accepts it by typing their name. The copy they accepted is stored exactly as it was sent. Before that, you can send them an upload link and get their photos, a sketch or the survey back attached to a draft project.
The limit
Why access is limited
We are letting builders in a few at a time, and it is not a growth tactic. Everyone who comes in gets their price book loaded with us and a direct line while the product is still taking its shape from what they tell us. That is real work per company, and doing it badly for fifty is worse than doing it properly for a handful.
What you get for being early is the part that does not scale: the software gets built around how you actually quote, by people who answer the phone. When we can do that well for more builders, we will open it up.
