Price it on the walk. The client signs on their phone.
From the first call to a signed contract with the deposit paid. Magic builds the estimate from your own prices while you walk the job, and the client approves it from a link, no app, no printing.
What changes: the estimate goes out from the driveway instead of after dinner, and your phone tells you the moment the client opens it, signs it and pays the deposit.

Magic estimating
Magic is the AI inside MagicBuild. On the walk you say what you see, snap photos or record a short video with sound. Magic works out the takeoff for your trade (fence length and height, roof squares, room sizes), prices every line from your price book, and shows where each number came from and how sure it is.
Voice, photos and video with sound
Takeoff per trade, priced from your own price book
Every number shows its source: you said it, tape, photo
Tap any number or line to correct it, add lines by hand
Options for the client
Ask Magic for an option in one sentence and the client gets it next to the base estimate, each with its own total. They pick on the link; the signed contract records the choice.
Priced from the same price book
Any number of options per estimate
The choice carries into the project and invoices
Client link and e-signature
The client gets a branded email with the PDF and a private link. On the link they see the line items, photos, options, your terms and the deposit. They sign with a finger; consent, time and device are recorded and a signed PDF is stored as the contract.
Branded email with PDF attached
Approve & sign with e-sign consent, IP and time stamped
Signed PDF kept for both sides
Decline with a reason, so you know why
Deposits on approval
Set a deposit percentage once in Settings, or change it for one job. After signing, the client pays it on the same page through Stripe and the money goes to your account. The deposit invoice is created for you.
Stripe checkout: card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, bank
Money goes to your own Stripe account
Deposit invoice and receipt handled automatically
Follow-up and tracking
You get a push when the client opens the estimate, downloads the PDF, signs or declines. After a few quiet days MagicBuild drafts the reminder; turn on automatic reminders and it sends them for you.
Opened, downloaded, signed, declined: all pushed to your phone
Reminders drafted for you or sent automatically
Leads flagged after three silent days
Contract wording
Every estimate prints your terms, changes and extras, warranty and cancellation wording, and that is what the client signs. Start from a template for your trade, or describe how you work and let Magic write it. Change the terms or deposit for one estimate without touching your standard.
Templates for fencing, decks, painting, plumbing, electrical, drywall, roofing, concrete, kitchen and bath
Or Magic writes it from how you work
Per-estimate terms and deposit
Revisions and versions
Rebuild or edit the estimate after it went out and the client's link shows the new version. Every previous version is kept with its total and the day it was sent.
One link, always current
Version history on the estimate
Client notified of the change
Questions
Asked before signing up.
Does the client need to install anything?
No. They open a link in their phone's browser. Signing and paying happen there.
Where do the prices come from?
Your price book: labor rate, materials markup and your item prices. Magic never uses generic numbers.
Can I fix what Magic got wrong?
Yes. Tap any takeoff number or line item to change it, remove lines, or add your own. The estimate reprices.
Is the e-signature valid?
Signatures are collected with e-sign consent and a record of time, IP and device, and the signed PDF is stored. Have your lawyer check the wording for your state.
Crew, subcontractors and clients are free. Month to month, pause for the off-season, cancel in Settings. Your price never goes up. Your data downloads any time.
