The problem

Bespoke carpentry is impossible to price accurately without building it up line by line

Every bespoke job is different — a fitted wardrobe in bedroom 1 is nothing like the alcove shelving in the living room. Timber prices shift regularly. Ironmongery and fixings are individually small but collectively significant. And quoting supply-and-fix vs labour-only on the same job needs a completely different document structure. CostForge solves all of it.

Reusable quote templates

Save repeat joinery structures and keep bespoke detail editable.

Bespoke work changes from job to job, but the structure often repeats. Save fitted furniture, staircase or first-fix packages as editable templates, then update measurements, materials and ironmongery for the client.

Fitted wardrobe package: carcasses, doors, drawer packs, hinges, handles, infill panels, finishing and install labour

Save the structure once, import it into a new quote, then adjust items, hours and pricing for the job in front of you.

Frequently asked questions

Questions from carpenters and joiners evaluating quoting software

Can I quote bespoke fitted furniture line by line?: Yes. Build up carcasses, doors, drawers, hardware, finishing and labour as separate items so the quote reflects the actual work.
Can I separate supply-and-fix from labour-only work?: Yes. CostForge lets you make the scope clear, whether you are supplying materials or quoting labour against client-supplied items.
Can I save joinery quote templates?: Yes. Save common structures such as fitted wardrobes, stair components or first-fix packages, then edit each imported quote.
Can I include multiple labour rates?: Yes. You can cost different roles or phases separately, such as a lead carpenter, second carpenter or apprentice.

The solution

Built for the way carpenters actually price work

Bespoke Item Build-Up

Quote a fitted wardrobe from scratch: carcasses, doors, drawer packs, soft-close runners, handles, MDF infill panels, install labour — every component on its own costed line.

Staircase Quote Structure

Break a staircase down properly: string boards, treads, risers, newel posts, balusters, handrail, cap, base, fixing screws, adhesive, and labour per phase. Nothing missed.

Supply-and-Fix or Labour-Only

Quote supply-and-fix with a full materials schedule, or labour-only for developers — using the same system. The line-item structure adapts to the contract type.

Staff Hours & Labour Costing

Set your own rate, a second carpenter, and an apprentice. Assign hours per item or per phase. CostForge calculates the labour total without running a calculator alongside.

Professional PDF Quotes

A bespoke staircase or fitted bedroom deserves a quote that looks as considered as the work. Branded PDF with your logo — not a text message with a price.
