FirstQuote is your AI quoting infrastructure. It reads the enquiry, understands the dimensions, and drafts a professional response in under 60 seconds while you're on the tools. You approve. You win.
The Three Moments You Lose Jobs Every Week
A $9,000 job lands at 2pm. You're welding. By the time you reply at 6pm, they've already signed with whoever answered first.
You're typing the same quote emails on your weekend instead of being with your family. Every. Single. Week.
Vague request, no drawings, missing specs. An hour chasing info before you can even start pricing the job.
2½ Minutes · Watch This First
No agencies. No jargon. The actual system running live on a real fabrication enquiry.
How It Works
When a fabrication enquiry lands — even a vague one with missing dimensions — FirstQuote identifies what's being asked, flags what's unclear, and drafts the clarifying questions automatically. By the time you see it, it's a clean brief, not a messy email.
FirstQuote never sends a response without you. Every reply lands on your phone first. You read it in 30 seconds, adjust the price if needed, and hit approve. You stay in complete control of every job.
By the time you put down the welding torch, the brief is ready. Stop losing high-value commercial jobs to competitors simply because they happened to be sitting at their desk.

"First week on FirstQuote I won a $14,000 structural steel job. Customer told me I was the only one who got back to him the same day. That job paid for a year of the system. I'm on the tools from 6am. I'm not checking emails. Now I don't have to."

"Sunday nights used to be my unofficial second job. Typing out quote emails while my wife watched telly without me. Now, the customer fills in the form and gets a proper reply before I've even looked at my phone. My Sunday nights came back."

"Lost a $22,000 job last year because they replied within an hour and I got back to them the next day. One day. Twenty-two grand. FirstQuote's been running four months now. Haven't lost a job to slow response since."

"Bloke rang me three weeks after I missed his enquiry to tell me he'd gone with someone else. Three weeks. He'd already started the job. I didn't even know I'd lost it because I never saw the email. That's what got me. I wasn't losing jobs I knew about and I was losing jobs I never even knew existed. FirstQuote fixed that overnight."

"I'm a one-man shop. I don't have a receptionist, I don't have an office bloke. It's just me. When I'm on a job I'm unreachable and that's just the reality of it. Used to cost me work constantly. Now my form replies before the customer's even closed their laptop. Half of them don't even realise it's automated, they just think I'm incredibly on the ball."

"Tried a generic chatbot first. Customer asked about 5mm plate mild steel in a specific finish and it told them to contact us during business hours. Useless. FirstQuote actually understood the job. Next enquiry that came through was for a custom handrail with a PDF file attached and it read the drawing, pulled the dimensions, and had a brief ready before I'd finished my coffee."

"My wife kept telling me I worked two jobs. One on the tools and one on my phone at night. She wasn't wrong. I was spending two hours every evening just on quotes and follow-ups. Felt like I was running a call centre from my couch. That's gone now. I check FirstQuote's drafts over breakfast, approve what I want, and that's my admin done for the day."

"Honestly the thing that sold me was the demo. Evan put in a real enquiry while I was watching vague as anything, no drawings, just 'I need some steel work done for a deck.' Within 56 seconds it had replied, asked the right clarifying questions, and sounded more professional than half the emails I write myself. I signed up that afternoon."

Before You Book
FirstQuote works best for fabrication shops already receiving 5 or more direct enquiries per week through their own website — not HiPages or ServiceSeeking. If most of your new work comes through referral directories, the response speed advantage is still real but the volume may not justify the setup yet. Book the call anyway — we'll tell you honestly whether it's the right time.
No catch. 30-day money-back guarantee, no lock-in contract.
Because this isn't a dashboard you have to learn. FirstQuote sits behind your existing contact form and works automatically from day one. There's nothing to set up daily, no interface to check. An enquiry comes in — FirstQuote replies in under 60 seconds — you get a notification to review and approve. That's it.
Yes. A purpose-built, high-performance industrial landing page is included as part of the setup — designed specifically to feed the AI quoting system.
We keep pricing off the page deliberately — not to be cagey, but because the right setup depends on your website and enquiry volume. What never changes: 30-day money back guarantee, no lock-in, cancel anytime. We'll give you the full breakdown in the first 5 minutes of the call.
Start Your Setup
Connect FirstQuote to your website in 48 hours. If it doesn't reply to your next inbound enquiry in under 60 seconds, or if it doesn't win you at least one job in your first 30 days that you'd have otherwise lost, we refund every cent. Your risk: zero.
