Buyer answer blocks
It should include roof scope, material system, waste assumptions, labor, overhead, margin target, approvals, alternates, and a proposal handoff record.
Low-margin proposals should require sales manager approval, notes, and a locked pre-send state before the packet is exported.
Material costs can drift quickly, so estimators need stale vendor-cost flags before proposals are sent to customers.
It ties RidgeQuote app screens to operator steps, acceptance evidence, pilot KPIs, and sales-ready proof before deeper integration work is promised.
Review the Roofing estimate and proposal software pilot package, the acceptance gates, the data-import boundary, and the SEO/AEO pages that route qualified search visitors back to the live product proof.
