Construction Quote & Profit Calculator for Tradespeople

Stop guessing your quotes

The NOVQEN Construction Quote & Profit Calculator is an Excel-based business tool for tradespeople and small construction businesses who want to price jobs more consistently, understand their real costs and protect their margin before sending a quote.

One underpriced job can cost more than this tool. NOVQEN helps you see the numbers before you commit to the price.

What you can do with it

• build quotes from labour, materials and direct job costs
• calculate overhead recovery and contingency
• apply materials markup separately from your overall target margin
• see a recommended selling price before you send the quote
• check a price you are considering and see whether it is on target, under target or loss-making
• calculate the hourly rate your business needs
• track Draft, Sent, Won, Lost and Expired quotes
• automatically create invoice-tracker entries when jobs are marked Won
• track unpaid, part-paid, overdue and paid balances
• review quoted work, won work and margins from a simple dashboard
• produce a clean customer-facing quote without showing your internal costs or profit margin

From quote to payment in one workbook

1. Quote: enter the job, labour, materials and other costs.
2. Check profit: compare your proposed price with the calculated target.
3. Send: use the clean customer-facing quote page.
4. Track: update the quote status as Draft, Sent, Won or Lost.
5. Follow the money: Won jobs feed into the invoice tracker automatically, where balances and payment status update as payments are entered.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need Excel?
The workbook is supplied as an .xlsx Microsoft Excel file. For the intended experience, use a current desktop version of Microsoft Excel.

Can I use it for different trades?
Yes. The calculator is designed around labour, materials, overheads and profit rather than one specific trade.

Does NOVQEN send my customer the quote?
No. The workbook creates a clean customer-facing quote page for you to save, print or send using your normal business workflow.

Does the invoice tracker know when a customer pays me?
You enter the payment received. The remaining balance and payment status then update automatically.

Is this accounting or tax software?
No. NOVQEN is a practical quoting and business-planning tool. VAT treatment, tax obligations and business costs vary by user and job.
