FAQ

Contractor Proposals FAQs

How do I create a proposal with this template?

Fill in your project and client details. Built-in calculations generate a clear cost breakdown automatically, then preview it and export as a polished, ready-to-send PDF.

Can I customize the template?

Yes. Every section is editable, so you can adjust cost categories, add your branding, update labor rates, or modify payment terms to fit any project.

Does ArcSite offer more than templates?

Yes. ArcSite's mobile app lets you create on-site drawings, generate automatic takeoffs, and build precise material lists, so you can move from estimate to signed proposal without leaving the field.

Do I need ArcSite's app to use this template?

No. The spreadsheet works on its own in Excel or Google Sheets. The ArcSite app is optional, and can generate this same information automatically from your on-site drawings.

Can I use this template for more than one trade?

Yes. The template is trade-agnostic, so general contractors and specialty trades alike can adjust categories, scope, and pricing sections to fit their work.

"I mainly rolled this out for residential sales, but really across the board, I think in the first three months, the residential was 25% higher than that same quarter in the previous five years."
