Question 1

What goes into an estimate draft?

Accepted Answer

A draft starts from the saved job, including the written details and notes you enter, contractor-provided rates, job-site photos and their visible observations, and any voice-note transcripts available to the proposal flow. It returns suggested scope, line items, quantities, and assumptions for contractor review. It does not establish hidden site conditions or approve work.

Question 2

How do job photos and written details help?

Accepted Answer

Written job details and walkthrough notes give the draft context. Saved photos can contribute observations about visible repair or installation scope. They are evidence for your review, not a site inspection: verify measurements, uncertain conditions, and inferred scope. Missing measurements and other uncertainties are listed as assumptions to check.

Question 3

Are voice notes transcribed automatically?

Accepted Answer

Recording and saving a voice note does not transcribe it. Proposal generation attempts to transcribe a saved recording only when the connected AI service offers an audio-transcription model. If transcription is unavailable, BidBramble reports that and does not save a proposal draft. When a transcript is available, check it against the recording and put essential facts in written job details or notes.

Question 4

Can I review and edit the estimate before publishing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Review the proposed scope, line items, quantities, rates, assumptions, and terms. Edit what needs correction, verify every estimated item, and save your review before publishing. The estimate is a draft, not a verification of the worksite.

Question 5

What happens when I publish?

Accepted Answer

After you finish and save your review, you can publish the proposal for your customer to review. The contractor-reviewed version is the one you choose to share.

Question 6

Is the interactive sample estimate a quote for my project?

Accepted Answer

No. The interactive sample on the home page uses fictional project details, options, and figures to show an example of the estimate workflow. It is not a live quote or offer for your job, and changing its options does not create or send a job.
