Quotes for builders in Johannesburg
Home extensions are common in older Johannesburg suburbs like Melville and Parkhurst, while new additions inside security estates such as Steyn City and Blair Atholl come with their own body corporate approval process before a single block gets laid. With no single mandatory licence for general building work in South Africa, a clear, professional quote is often the first thing that separates a serious builder from the competition. Prummo lets you dictate the quote on site, split it into deposit and stage payments, and send it over WhatsApp before the customer calls the next number on their list.
Estates like Steyn City and Dainfern often want the full quote, including materials breakdown, attached to the body corporate application, so having it ready as a clean PDF straight after the site visit saves a week of back and forth.

Construction and renovation work in South Africa supports thousands of small builders and independent contractors, from single-room additions to full home renovations. There's no single mandatory trade licence for general building work, so a clear, itemised quote is one of the fastest ways to show a customer you run things properly. Sending a professional quote the same day as the site visit, broken into deposit and stage payments, can be the deciding factor in winning the job before the customer calls the next name on their list.

Questions about Prummo for builders?
Yes. Dictate everything: foundations, blockwork, lintels, labour days. The AI organises it into sections with subtotals. You review, adjust prices if needed, and send. Even a 30-item quote takes under 5 minutes.
Perfectly. Log partial payments (deposit, first fix, completion) against the same quote. The customer sees the balance update in real time on their quote page. You always know what's outstanding.
That means you're quoting hours after the site visit, and some customers have already called someone else. With Prummo you dictate on site, send via WhatsApp before you drive away, and the customer gets a professional page, not a flat PDF.
Not at first. Start free and send unlimited quotes. Paid plans unlock AI voice (dictate quotes hands-free), branded PDFs, supplier management, and analytics. Most building professionals find the free plan covers their needs. Upgrade only when you want more.
That's fine. Send the Prummo quote link via WhatsApp, and the customer can pay by EFT and attach proof of payment to the job, or you can request the amount directly via PayShap. You log the payment, and the quote status updates. Prummo charges nothing on manual payments.
Request each stage as its own PayShap request or EFT reference, deposit, first fix, completion, so the customer always knows what's outstanding and you're not chasing money at the end. There's no card checkout or financing plan for South Africa, but PayShap requests are usually settled within minutes.
