What a window quotation should contain
A quote has two jobs: give the customer enough detail to trust the price, and give you a record you can turn into an order. A good window quotation includes:
- Your company branding, contact details and a quotation number and date
- The customer and site details
- A line per window type with its configuration (e.g. 3-track sliding), size, and quantity
- The glass and hardware specification for each window
- A clear per-window rate and line total
- The grand total, with taxes shown as applicable
- Validity, payment terms and delivery expectations
Never show labour and margin as line items
It is tempting to break a quote into material + labour + markup. Don’t. The moment labour and markup appear as separate lines, a sharp customer negotiates them away — or a competitor who sees your quote learns exactly how you price.
Fold labour and margin into each per-window rate. The customer sees one fair price per window; your costs stay yours.
A simple window quotation structure
| # | Window | Size | Qty | Rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3-track sliding, 5mm clear glass | 48 × 60 | 4 | ₹ 8,450 | ₹ 33,800 |
| 2 | Fixed light, 5mm clear glass | 36 × 48 | 2 | ₹ 4,200 | ₹ 8,400 |
| 3 | Openable casement | 24 × 36 | 3 | ₹ 3,900 | ₹ 11,700 |
Each rate already contains profile, glass, hardware, labour and your margin — the customer simply sees a clean, professional price per window.
From estimate to quote in minutes
Building this by hand for every enquiry is where hours disappear and errors start. AluSync generates this exact kind of quotation automatically: you enter or draw the windows (in soot, inches or mm), and it applies your formulas, glass rounding and hardware, then produces a branded PDF with labour and margin already folded into each rate.
Change a window or a size and the quote re-prices instantly — no rebuilding the document, and no risk of a stray cell quietly eating your margin.
