Item library

Drop saved blocks straight into any quote

Build a library of sections and line setups your team trusts. Pull them into a quote as new draft blocks—titles, minimum charges, and structure already in place—so you price faster without starting from scratch.

  • Reuse scopes you have priced before
  • Consistent naming and minimums across estimates
  • Less copy-paste, fewer mismatched totals

Profit gating

See margin health before you hit send

Quote totals surface raw cost, profit, and true margin with clear RAG coding so the whole team knows when a job is commercially safe — or needs another look.

  • Green — healthy true margin (typically ≥ 47.5%)
  • Amber — review zone (≥ 40%, below 47.5%)
  • Red — weak margin (below 40%)

Example totals below; colours follow true margin % — same idea as in the app (your thresholds can be tuned per tenant).

Quote totals

Subtotal (ex VAT)£8,592.86
VAT£1,718.57
Total (inc VAT)£10,311.43
Raw cost£5,150.00

True margin %40.07%

Access quote requests

Get scaffolding pricing without leaving the job

Access is built into the MOAT flow. When a customer or quote needs scaffolding, request access quotes from the same place you are already working, then compare scaffolder responses without chasing separate emails or spreadsheets.

  • Start from a customer or linked quote when access is part of the job
  • Capture site, scaffold, and timing details in a guided request wizard
  • Post the request and track scaffolder quotes back inside MOAT
  • Compare pricing faster before you finalise your own quote or programme
