How Knack works

Watch a job become a quote.

Keep scrolling — the panel follows one job all the way from a hallway voice note to a signed acceptance.

01 On-site notes

Walk the job. Say what you see.

Room by room, Knack turns your voice notes into draft scope lines — ready to review, edit and price before anything reaches the quote.

Faster than typing — and nothing forgotten by the time you're back at the desk.

02 Takeoff

Count and measure straight off the plan.

Open the drawings, drop symbols, count points and measure runs. The takeoff seeds your quote lines with real quantities, straight off the plan.

Every symbol you drop becomes a quantity on the quote — traceable both ways.

03 Quote builder

Your capture flows straight into the builder.

Lines from your notes and the takeoff land in the builder, priced from your price book and your own past jobs. You fine-tune; it stays honest underneath.

Costs, labour and margin stay internal. The customer sees one clean number.

04 Acceptance

Send one link. Get a signed yes.

Your customer reads the scope, picks their options and accepts online — and the moment they do, the agreed scope is frozen and receipted for both sides.

Declaration-bound and recorded exactly as agreed — your answer if scope is ever questioned.

Capture on site

Say it once. Knack does the typing.

The best notes you'll ever take are the ones you say out loud while you're standing in the room. Record as you walk — Knack drafts your words into structured scope, ready to review and price when you're back at the ute.

  • Hands stay free. No clipboard, no thumb-typing in the hallway — just talk and keep moving.
  • Nothing gets forgotten. The detail you'd normally lose between the site and the desk is captured the moment you notice it.
  • Every line is a draft. You review, edit, and approve before anything reaches the quote — it's your scope, not the machine's.

Features

Everything between the handshake and the signature.

Knack does one job — getting professional quotes out fast and accepted cleanly — and does it properly.

Voice-note capture

Say it once on site instead of typing it twice at home. Knack drafts scope from your notes; you review every line before it goes anywhere.

Plan markup & takeoff

Count points, measure runs, and mark up drawings right in the browser. Takeoff quantities flow straight into quote lines.

Price book & pricing memory

Your own curated catalogue, supplier pricing underneath, and similar past jobs pulled up alongside the draft — so you price from evidence, not guesswork.

Schedules, tiers & optional extras

Break the quote into selectable pieces of scope. Bundle prices or itemise them, offer good-better-best tiers, and let the customer tick the extras they want.

Revisions without chaos

Sending a new revision supersedes the old one and retires its link automatically. There is only ever one live version of the quote.

The acceptance record

Declaration-bound, timestamped, and frozen at the moment of acceptance. When scope questions come up later, you have the answer.

Sense check before you send

An optional, quiet once-over while the quote is still a draft — Knack flags the lines worth a second look before your customer sees them, never after. It never blocks you and never nags.

Follow-ups, handled

Switch on a gentle reminder and Knack nudges an unanswered quote on your schedule, in your own words — and stops the moment your customer replies.

Win & loss insights

See which quotes land and which slip away. Knack keeps the score from your own history, so you learn what your numbers should really be.

The moment that matters

A quote isn't done when it's sent. It's done when it's accepted.

Most quoting tools stop at the PDF. Knack treats the customer's side as first-class: a clean web page where they read the scope, choose their options, and commit — properly.

  • They can explore, not just skim. Customers open the plan and photos right in the quote to see exactly what's included — and can flag a question by dropping a pin, before they commit.
  • Declaration-bound acceptance. Your customer affirms the terms explicitly — no ambiguous "looks good" texts.
  • An immutable record. Scope, selected options, terms, and totals are frozen exactly as accepted, with a receipt for both sides.
  • Your brand, not ours. The customer sees your business front and centre on every page, email, and PDF.

A conversation, not a PDF

If they want a tweak, they point at it.

On the very same quote link, your customer can mark up the plan and ask for a change — right where they mean it. It comes back to you as a clear request, and you send the revision. No phone tag, no "the third light along."

  • Pin the plan, not a paragraph. They drop a marker exactly where they want a change, with a note in their own words.
  • It routes straight to you. Requests land against the quote; you decide what to action and send a new revision.
  • The record stays clean. Nothing the customer marks up changes the quote until you re-issue it — your accepted scope never drifts.

AI, kept in its lane

AI writes the first draft. You make the call.

Knack's AI is quick with a starting point — scope from a voice note, lines from a plan, prices from your history. But nothing reaches your customer until you've looked at it. It's your name on the quote.

Always a draft

AI-generated scope and pricing are clearly marked and stay editable until you've reviewed them yourself.

No auto-send

Knack never sends your quote on your behalf. Every quote goes out because you pressed Send — the receipt on acceptance and any follow-ups you switch on are the only automatic emails.

Traceable lines

Every quote line shows where it came from — the plan, a voice note, or your catalogue — so you can check its working.

Questions

Fair questions, straight answers.

Is this another job-management system I have to migrate everything into?

No. Knack deliberately covers one stretch of the job — from the site visit to the signed acceptance — and does it properly. It doesn't try to replace your scheduling, timesheets, or accounting. Winning the work is the part most tools rush; it's the only part we do.

Do I need to be good with computers?

If you can send a text and take a photo, you can run Knack. Capture happens by talking; the takeoff is tap-on-the-plan; and the quote builder fills itself in from what you've captured. It works on your phone on site and on the desktop in the office.

What does my customer actually see?

A clean, professional quote page under your business's branding — scope, options they can select, terms, and one clear button to accept. They never see your costs, margins, or internal build-up, and they never see Knack's brand pushed in front of yours.

Can Knack catch mistakes before I send?

It can help. Before you send, you can run an optional sense check — a quiet once-over that flags things worth a second look, like a line that reads oddly or an option that doesn't add up. It never blocks you and never nags: it's there when you pull it, and the call is always yours.

Will the AI send something wrong to my customer?

It can't — nothing is ever sent automatically. AI output in Knack is always a draft: it's marked as such, it stays editable, and it only becomes part of the quote once you've reviewed it and pressed Send yourself.

What happens when the customer wants changes after accepting?

You send a new revision. The old version is superseded and its link retired, so there's never confusion about which quote is live — and the original acceptance record stays intact, exactly as it was agreed, for as long as you need it.

Does Knack handle deposits and invoicing?

No — by design. Your deposit terms appear in the quote in your own words, and invoicing stays wherever it works for you today. Knack's job is getting you a clean, recorded "yes" to invoice against.

Win the work before
you're back in the van.

Quote faster, look sharper, and get a real yes — with a record to prove it.
