Why a plumber needs their own version

Supply, drain and fixture work, much of it unscheduled.

  • Emergency calls arrive at the worst hour and the price has to be agreed before anyone drives.
  • Repipe quotes are per fixture and per foot at once, and a single missed bathroom is a four-figure error.
  • Payment is expected at completion, on a phone, standing in somebody’s kitchen.

Priced the way you price

A generic template makes you type the unit every time. This one already knows a plumber quotes in these:

Water heater, installedper each
PEX repipeper linear foot
Fixture set (rough and trim)per fixture
Sewer line replacementper linear foot
Drain clearing, cable or jetper hour
After-hours call-outper each

This is a starting point, not legal advice. Contract law is a state matter and the terms that hold up in Tennessee are not the terms that hold up in California. Have a lawyer in your state read yours before you send it to a customer — once, and then it is done.

Relayhand builds the contract from the job, sends it, gets it signed on the customer’s phone and takes the deposit. Same document, none of the retyping.
