How to order an Estimate

Ordering Requirements

You must be subscribed to DocuSketch's estimating service. If you are not currently a subscriber to DocuSketch or our estimating service, please contact us at help@docusketch.com for more information.

To order your estimate through our estimating service, you must first have an uploaded tour and a DocuSketch-generated sketch completed.

Please follow the steps below to order an estimate from DocuSketch.

On the Mobile App

Note: To request an estimate, your tour must be uploaded and a sketch must be ordered.

Find the tour in your tour list (as shown in the screenshot below). Tap the three dots in the lower right corner of the tour to open the associated menu. From that menu, select the 'Request estimate' option:

In the next window, fill in all required information as indicated by the asterisks:

The 'Options' category opens radio buttons that allow you to select whether the customer is a business and whether to apply sales tax to the estimate:

The 'Estimate type' dropdown should be opened and completed. Note that each category in this section can be expanded for more detailed selections. You can select only one category for 'Water,' but you may choose multiple options under 'Fire,' 'Contents,' 'Temporary repairs,' 'Reconstruction,' and 'Other' estimate types:

For more information on the types of estimate you may order, please see: Estimate Order Types.

Next, be sure your scope of work is attached. If you have used the DocuSketch scope of work tool, a link to that document will appear as highlighted in the image below. You can also add any additional notes in the provided area below:
