Drywall contractors can generate accurate quotes and material lists on the fly thanks to the Third Arm Quotes app offered by CertainTeed Gypsum. The easy-to-use tool was designed by drywall contractors, for drywall contractors, and cuts the time it takes to estimate a job in half while automatically filing the job information so it is ready when and where it is needed. This means drywallers can now quote more jobs, which provides the opportunity for them to win more jobs. Once awarded, jobs are also easier to track thanks to the app.
The app works with all iOS devices and can be quickly downloaded from iTunes. Once downloaded, the digital quote manager can take a drywall contractor easily and quickly through each step of the job management process.
The app was created by veteran drywaller Pete Wilson, owner of PR Wilson Interiors of Victoria, British Columbia, who is partnering with CertainTeed in order to help other contractors work more efficiently.
The completely customizable digital quote manager eliminates the need for contractors to go back to the office to push paperwork for quotes and material lists as these essential tasks can now be taken care of from anywhere at any time. Within Third Arm Quotes, contractors can create appointments as well as upload customer details including name, phone number, jobsite address, even driving directions to the jobsite. Notably, the tool can create an accurate materials list, which in turn can be emailed to suppliers, along with specific delivery instructions. The app can also help manage subcontractor schedules. In addition, the intuitively designed Third Arm Quotes utilizes iCloud technology so data entered into the app can be accessed across multiple devices.
CertainTeed customers are invited to try the app at no charge for 30 days.
