Every figure on this page is computed from the inputs you enter, by the method stated below it. RoughInDesk publishes no market averages and quotes no survey: the defaults are a worked example to replace with your own. The pipe dimensions in the pipe-size tool are the published standard sizes, cited on that page.

A plumbing proposal sample, filled for a real job so the shape is visible: a repipe of a single-storey house, with the scope written as the work, the three priced options, the exclusions, the schedule, the payment terms, the warranty and the acceptance block. The plumbing proposal template on this site builds yours the same way from the estimate, free and without an account; RoughInDesk Pro files the proposal against the property and records the option the customer accepted.

The scope as the work

Replace the existing galvanized supply with new copper or PEX from the main shutoff to every fixture; new stops at every fixture; new water heater connections; drywall openings at the points listed, patched to a paint-ready finish; test, flush and commission. Written so the customer can check it on the day.

The three options

PEX throughout at one price, copper throughout at a second, copper at the exposed runs and PEX in the walls at a third, each complete with its own warranty. The template presents them that way from the estimator's figures.

Exclusions, schedule, terms, warranty

Excluded: painting, fixtures unless listed, code upgrades found on opening the walls, permit fees where charged. Schedule: the days and the water-off windows. Terms: deposit and balance. Warranty: the material's and the company's on labor, each with its length.

Acceptance and the record

The customer signs the option chosen on the page that shows its price and scope. Pro files the signed proposal, turns it into the job and the job into the invoice without retyping. From the vendors' own pricing pages: Tradify lists Lite at $47, Pro at $51 and Plus at $61 per user per month; Jobber lists Core at $49 per month for one user with additional users at $29 each; Housecall Pro lists Basic at $59 per month billed annually or $79 monthly. RoughInDesk Pro is $47 per month for the whole crew.

Plumbing proposal sample: common questions

Is the proposal template free? Yes. It builds the proposal from the estimate with no account and no card. Pro files it and records the acceptance.

How is a proposal different from an estimate? The estimate is the number; the proposal is the offer: scope, options, exclusions, terms, warranty and the place to sign.

Should I include the option I do not want them to pick? Include the options you will do well. The customer chooses between your options, not between you and the next quote.
