Quote Studio

Draw the layout, price it, and send - in CutBench

The issue

Quotes live in another tool; the job starts from a PDF and someone re-types sizes and prices.

Draw worktops, price from your books, plan slabs, and carry the quote into the job.

Quote Studio is on the Pro + Quote Studio plan (£198/mo, or £49/mo add-on on Pro). Included on the free trial. Starter and Pro can still import CounterGo PDFs.

Draw the layout, price it, and send - all in CutBench

How CutBench helps

Draw kitchen layouts

Sketch rect, L, U, and island worktops on a canvas built for fabrication shops - not generic CAD. Default 600 mm depth, always-on dimensions, and sizes you can type while you draw.

  • Corridor-style draw for rect, L, and U shapes
  • Islands, corner treatments, and bump-outs
  • Undo, snap guides, and templates for repeat layouts

Edges, cutouts, and upstands

Pick from a UK-style catalogue of edge profiles and items - sinks, hobs, taps, draining grooves, sockets - with colour-coded edges and on-canvas labels so the takeoff matches what you will fabricate.

  • Edge profiles with colour-coded strokes
  • Cutouts and fittings with labels on the drawing
  • Upstands and splashbacks priced with the quote

Price from your own books

Materials come from stock with sell price and availability. Price by slab, m², linear foot, or fixed amount - with live preview, wastage modes, and Good / Better / Best options for the customer.

  • Price lists for retail, builder, or custom books
  • Live price preview as you change materials and edges
  • Option sets and add-ons the customer can pick

Plan slabs before you send

Optional slab planning puts fabrication cuts onto sheets with joints, auto-arrange, and vein matching - so the quote reflects real slab use, not only an area guess. This is quote-level planning, not CNC nesting.

  • Butt and mitre joints on L and U shapes
  • Auto-arrange cuts onto standard slab sheets
  • Drag pieces between sheets and lock for vein matching

Hold material and raise purchase orders

Soft or firm holds keep slabs from being sold twice while the quote is out. When stock is short, raise a purchase order from the quote in one click so purchasing follows the same numbers.

  • Stock holds from the quote with clear expiry
  • Purchase orders from quote shortfalls
  • Material stays linked when the quote becomes the job

Send the quote - then keep it on the job

Email a PDF or share a public link so the customer can pick an option. When they approve, the quote stays on the job - production works from what was agreed, without re-keying into another tool.

  • PDF and email from CutBench
  • Customer option picker on a public link
  • Approved quote becomes the production source on the job

Who it helps

Office, workshop, and field

  • Office

    Draw and price in one place, send options, and hand an approved quote to the job without re-typing.

  • Workshop

    See the agreed layout and material so fab follows the quote, not a buried PDF.

  • Field

    Less confusion on site about what was quoted versus what was signed off.
