Welcome to
Don't Quote Me Yet
Don't Quote Me Yet slows things down, and helps you formulate vetted requests for trade quotes.
Giving tradies the right framing and info saves time all round. But DMQY also helps to set a high standard of communication from initial quote request through to job completion.
Remember that statutory bodies and peak industry organisations in Australia recommend trade business clients get at least three quotes per job for comparison, so draft your quote request and use our inbuilt email sender to do your due diligence.
Write.
Revise.
Send.
Create a clear, calm quote request before contacting trade businesses. Taking your time to formulate your query will result in better scope of work alignments, more accurate quote items and less back-and-forth.
DQMY is a free public tool created to empower the clients of trade businesses to be more active participants in the alignment between quote-seeking and quote-giving. No sign-ups or log-ins required.
