Quote & BOM Builder
From system design to a priced, margin-aware quote.
Free to use without an account. A free installer account adds saved work, A4 previews and branded PDF exports.
The quote and BOM builder turns a design into a priced bill of materials, then an A4 quotation with labour, transport, overhead, discount, VAT, gross profit and margin. Export the finished document as a PDF.
How the Quote & BOM Builder works
Build the bill of materials
Add or import line items with quantity, unit and unit price. Importing from the System Sizer pre-fills the main equipment.
Add job costs
Enter markup, labour and transport. Overhead belongs in markup; labour and transport are added separately so the margin stays visible.
Check margin before sending
VAT is calculated on the discounted subtotal. Gross profit subtracts VAT and job costs, so a high markup can still leave a thin margin.
Worked example
5 kW hybrid system quotation
₦2,314,000 of equipment, 10% markup, ₦80,000 labour, ₦30,000 transport and 7.5% VAT.
- ₦2,655,400 subtotal
- ₦199,155 VAT
- ₦2,854,555 total
- About 8.1% margin
Assumptions and limits
- Prices are whatever you enter. The tool does not fetch live Mishka stock prices.
- VAT defaults to 7.5% but is editable, and the rate you choose is the rate printed.
- PDF output uses the browser print dialog, so choose Save as PDF rather than a printer.
