Gates, burglar bars, trailers or structural steel — quote steel and labour cleanly, take a deposit, and invoice on install.
The welder who sends a proper quote first looks the most professional — and gets the work.
You buy the steel on a verbal yes, fabricate it, and then carry the cost for weeks waiting to be paid.
A clear quote with a deposit covers the steel, and the final invoice goes out the day you bolt the gate on.
Standing on the job? Build a branded, VAT-sorted quote and send it as a clean PDF before you’ve packed your tools.
A professional quote in their hand right now beats “I’ll email you next week.” Looking legit is how you win the work.
Job done — tap once to turn the quote into a tax invoice, log the payment, and watch what you’re owed in real time.
“I quote from the bakkie now. The invoice is sent before I have packed up the tools.”
