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.

Now upgraded with Change Order tracking and Budget vs Actual job performance.

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
• track change orders, cost impact, customer price and approval status
• compare estimated costs and profit against actual job results
• see actual margin and profit variance after the job
• automatically create invoice-tracker entries when jobs are marked Won
• track unpaid, part-paid, overdue and paid balances
• review quoted work, won work, actual job performance and margins from the dashboard
• produce a clean customer-facing quote without showing your internal costs or profit margin

From quote to actual profit 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. Manage changes: record change orders and their cost, selling price and approval status.
6. Follow the money: Won jobs feed into the invoice tracker automatically.
7. Compare budget vs actual: enter actual labour, materials and other costs and compare the profit you expected with the profit you actually achieved.

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.

What does the Budget vs Actual section do?
It lets you compare the costs and profit you expected when quoting with the labour, materials and other costs actually incurred on the job.

What does the Change Order Tracker do?
It records scope changes, estimated cost impact, customer price, approval status and the effect on profit. Approved change-order revenue feeds into Job Actuals.

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.

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.
