About CostForge

Quoting and job costing built around the pre-work commercial workflow.

CostForge connects client records, jobs, detailed quotes, labour costing, branded output and client approval in one workflow. It is focused on the commercial work around preparing and progressing a quote rather than trying to be a full ERP, complete accounting package or full project-management suite.

What CostForge does

From client and job to accepted quote.

The core hierarchy is Client → Job → Quote. Teams can build quotes from material or service items and saved staff labour rates, apply tax and internal margin, preview client-facing output, generate PDFs and send quotes electronically.

Clients can review a secure public quote, sign and accept or decline it. When the live Xero integration is connected and configured, supported accepted-quote workflows can create Xero invoices and synchronise supported invoice status information.

Platform scope

Useful commercial controls without overclaiming the product.

CostForge is strongest where a trade or project business needs repeatable quote preparation, client-ready output and a clear response workflow.

Structured quoting

Build detailed quotes with nested line items, labour, tax, payment terms and internal margin, then produce branded client-facing output.

Clients, jobs and team access

Keep client records connected to jobs and quotes, with Owner, Admin and Member workspace roles for team access.

Client approval

Send a quote for a signed online accept or decline response without requiring the client to have a staff account.

Reusable, branded output

Reuse full quotes or item groups as templates and apply company identity and quote colours to client-facing documents.
