The retaining walls quoting problem
Half the cost of a good wall is invisible when it's done — excavation, base, drainage, backfill. If your quote is one number, the client compares it to a stack-and-go bid that skips the geogrid and fails in three winters. Itemizing the underground work is how honest wall builders win against cheap ones.

“I lost wall jobs for years to guys who skip the drainage. Now the quote shows the drainage line and clients ask the other bidder where his is.”

Common questions
How do I explain base and drainage costs?
Each gets its own line item with real numbers. The optional notes field is where builders add one sentence on why walls without drainage fail — the quote does the educating.
Can I require a large deposit for materials?
Yes — set any amount. Block orders are commonly 30–40% of the job, and the deposit button sends funds straight to your own account, never through QuoteCraft.
Does QuoteCraft handle engineered walls?
For walls needing an engineer's stamp, quote your build scope and note the engineering as a client-provided item or its own line. The quote records whatever scope you define.
