What's the best quoting app for welders in New Zealand?
Insta Quotes is an AI quoting app for New Zealand and Australian welders that turns a job description into an itemised, GST-ready quote in under 30 seconds; plans start at $29 AUD a month, billed in AUD even in New Zealand. A sample Insta Quotes welder quote itemises the job into steel, galv, duplex, fixings, install and labour lines.
How much does Insta Quotes cost for a welder in New Zealand?
Insta Quotes plans are billed in AUD: Tier 1 $29 AUD, Tier 2 $59 AUD and Tier 3 $99 AUD a month. New accounts start with a free 7-day trial, capped at 7 quotes in total rather than per month, with no credit card required, so welders in New Zealand can quote before paying.
What should a New Zealand steel fabrication quote include?
Separate fabrication, protective coating, fixings and site installation, and show 15% GST alongside your NZBN and IRD GST number. Name the steel section and grade, the coating system, and the fixings by material, because a stainless fixing into a galvanised assembly and a plated fixing are different lifespans at similar prices. State whether the quote is from your measurements or the client’s drawing, and where engineering sits: a balustrade, a structural beam or anything holding people up may need a producer statement or an engineer’s design, and that is chargeable work rather than something you carry.
How does New Zealand’s coastal exposure change a steel quote?
It changes the protective system, which changes the price, and it is the most common reason two steel quotes differ without the client understanding why. Sites are classified by how corrosive the atmosphere is, and a sea spray zone is a long way from an inland one — galvanising that would last decades inland will not do the same job within sight of the surf. There a duplex system, galvanising with a paint system over it, is what achieves the design life. Very little of New Zealand is far from the coast, so this is the normal case rather than an exception. Name the zone and the system on your quote, and if you are being compared against a cheaper price, that line is the comparison.
Does the AI know New Zealand steel fabrication pricing?
Yes. Quotes are priced in NZD against current New Zealand rates — fabrication labour, steel by section and grade, hot-dip galvanising, duplex and powder-coat systems, stainless fixings and chemical anchors, and site installation — with 15% GST applied rather than Australia’s 10%. Coating is priced against the site’s corrosivity rather than as a single default, because in this country that is the variable that decides how long the work lasts.
How should I quote site work I have not measured myself?
Quote the fabrication from the drawing and the installation from a check measure, and say so. Steel is unforgiving: a balustrade fabricated to a dimension that turns out to be 20mm different is a workshop job to fix, not a site adjustment, and the cost of that lands on whoever measured. State clearly that fabrication is based on the client’s or designer’s dimensions unless you have measured, that you will check measure before cutting, and what happens to the programme if the check measure differs. On installation, name the fixing substrate you have assumed — concrete, timber or steel — because the anchor and the labour change with it and that is not visible in a drawing.
