DCB Proposal Builder

Beta — Free Access

It’s Exhausted.

The problem, and the fix

Sound familiar?

The way it is now
Handwritten measurements on a legal pad you can’t read in the truck.
An Excel file you’ve been “updating” since 2009.
A Word doc you manually reformat every single time.
The way it works now
Field app on your phone. Measurements in, ballpark out. On-site.
Auto-populated line items the second you import the job.
Client-ready proposal. Three templates. One click.
The workflow

Three steps. One less headache.

01

Measure it on-site

Pull up the Field App on your phone. Enter room dimensions, select your systems, add line items. It calculates a ballpark while you’re still standing in the bathroom. Export the job when you’re done.

02

Import, price, done

Open the Estimator — in your browser, on your desktop, or on your tablet if you’re apparently some kind of wizard. Import your field file. Every line item auto-populates with your catalog pricing. Organized by room. Editable when the client inevitably changes their mind.

03

Send something that looks professional

Pick a template. Pick a style. Preview it live. Generate the PDF or hit Email Client — it pre-fills the subject line, body, and recipient address. Done.

DotComBot Proposal Builder — live proposal preview

Live proposal preview — template, style, and format selectable in real time. That deposit line calculated itself.

“Wait — it calculated my deposit automatically?

Every job splits materials and labor. The app knows exactly what you’re putting into the project before you cut a check. The deposit math does itself.

Contractors have been leaving money on the table with deposit guesswork for decades. That stops here.

Built by a contractor

This exists because I got tired of my own system.

I’ve been installing tile for 23 years. My proposal process was a legal pad, an Excel spreadsheet, and a Word doc I’d been manually reformatting since 2008. It worked. Barely. Slowly. Annoyingly.

So I built the tool I actually needed — field capture on my phone, real pricing from my own catalog, proposals that look like a professional sent them. No subscription. No cloud. No one else has your job data.

It works for tile. It works for any trade. The engine is universal — your pricing catalog is the only thing that changes.

Beta is free. I want real contractors from real trades to break it before I charge anyone a dime.

— Built by a guy who has definitely misread his own handwriting on a job site.

Questions

The ones people actually ask.

What trades does this work for?
Any trade that measures things and writes proposals. Tile, flooring, painting, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, carpentry — if you’ve got line items and a client who needs a number, it works. The engine is universal. The catalog is the only thing that’s trade-specific, and you control that completely.
Does it need internet to run?
The Field App is a PWA — it installs on your phone and runs fully offline. The Estimator runs in your browser or as a desktop app; no internet required after the initial load. Your job data stays on your device.
Where does my data go?
Nowhere. There’s no server, no database, no account login. Your job files live on your device. Export them, back them up, do whatever you want with them. Nobody else is looking at your pricing.
What does it cost after beta?
One-time purchase. No subscription. Price is TBD based on beta feedback, but it won’t be $300/month like the other guys. Beta users who provide feedback will be taken care of at v1 launch.
Can I use my own pricing?
That’s the whole point. The catalog is yours — edit every line item, set your own labor rates, create multiple pricing tiers (Residential, Commercial, Builder, whatever your business needs). Export it, back it up, import it on a new machine. It’s your data.
