Can I try the renovation quotation system before deciding?
Yes. Our live demo runs a fictional renovation company in Shah Alam with sample data. You can build and send a quote, mark a stage done in the supervisor's site app, approve a variation order and pay a progress claim in the customer app. Nothing you do affects real data. The demo is a sample: your own system is designed around how your company works, so its look and features follow your requirements.
How much does renovation quotation software cost in Malaysia?
It depends on whether you subscribe or build. Accounting software with quoting costs a few US dollars a month, and overseas contractor platforms cost far more: Houzz Pro is listed from US$399 a month, and Buildertrend last published prices of US$449 to US$989 a month. A custom system is a one-time build: Transfomind's first versions start from RM6,000. Hosting, payment gateway fees and WhatsApp message charges are separate running costs.
Can it quote in square feet, foot run and points?
Yes. Your price list holds each item with its unit, such as sqft for tiling and plaster ceiling, ft run for cabinets and L-box, and points for wiring and plumbing, with your cost and selling rate. Quotes use those rates automatically and show your margin before you send.
How do deposits and progress payments work?
You set a payment schedule per job type, for example a 20% deposit on signing and claims after plumbing and wiring, tiling, carpentry and handover. Qanvast notes a 10–20% deposit is the norm in Malaysia. Each claim is issued when its stage is marked done, sent on WhatsApp, and can be paid by DuitNow QR or FPX.
How are variation orders handled?
Any change raised on site is priced by the office and sent to the customer to approve or decline before work starts. Approved changes are added to the final claim, so the contract value always matches what was agreed in writing.
Do I need to charge service tax on renovation work?
Since 1 July 2025, construction services are taxed at 6% if your taxable revenue is more than RM1.5 million in 12 months, and work on residential buildings is excluded. The system marks each job residential or commercial and applies tax only where needed. Your tax agent should confirm how the rules apply to your company.
Can customers accept quotes and pay online?
Yes. Customers get a link on WhatsApp to view the full quotation and accept it online. Deposits and progress claims can be paid by DuitNow QR, FPX online banking, e-wallets or card through a Malaysian payment gateway, and are marked as paid automatically.
Can my site supervisor use it on their phone?
Yes. The site app shows today's jobs, lets supervisors mark stages done, share photos and notes with the customer, raise changes and send measurements from site visits straight into a draft quote.
Can I import my existing Excel price list and past quotes?
Yes. We import your price list, customers and open jobs as part of the project, so you start with your own rates rather than a blank system.
How long does it take to build?
A first version with enquiries, the price list and the quote builder usually takes 6–10 weeks. Progress claims, variation orders and the site and customer apps can follow in later phases.
