What's included in the advanced proposal builder

How the advanced proposal builder differs from the standard proposal builder, and what it lets you do on the Scale plan.

Written by Handoff Support

Overview

The advanced proposal builder gives you more control over the structure, design, and content of your proposals. Instead of using a fixed proposal structure, you can build proposals from individual sections, customize their appearance, save reusable layouts, and offer clients multiple estimate options.

The advanced proposal builder is available on the Scale plan.

Standard vs. advanced proposal builder

The standard proposal builder turns your estimate into a client-ready document with a fixed structure. You can edit the wording and add optional content, including:

  • Client message

  • Payment schedule

  • Files

  • Terms

  • Signature

The advanced proposal builder lets you control how the proposal is structured. You can add, arrange, duplicate, remove, and customize individual sections.

Build proposals with sections

The advanced proposal builder includes the following section types:

  • Header

  • Text

  • Files

  • Estimate

  • Schedule

  • Payment schedule

  • Terms & conditions

  • Signature

  • Divider

You can insert sections as needed and drag them into any order. Sections can also be duplicated, removed, and individually themed.

Customize colors and fonts

Use Edit colors and fonts to apply your company's branding across the proposal.

This lets you create a consistent visual style throughout the document without customizing each section separately.

Save and reuse proposal layouts

Layouts let you save a reusable proposal structure for your organization.

A layout can include your preferred sections, section order, and standard content, allowing you to apply the same structure to future proposals without rebuilding it for each job.

Offer multiple estimate options

A single proposal can include up to five priced estimate options.

You can use options to present different approaches, such as good, better, and best packages or alternative scopes of work. Your client can compare the options within the same proposal and select one when they approve.

Send proposals to multiple recipients

You can address a proposal to multiple people. Each recipient receives their own tracked link, allowing you to see who has opened the proposal.
