Creating your first install (build) proposal on desktop web

An install (build) proposal is how you quote hardscape and softscape work, like beds, plants, turf, walls, and surfaces, to a client.

1. Start a new proposal

From the Home screen, click + Create new, then select Proposal or click Proposal on the Home screen

- Type a name to create a new client/ lead or choose an existing one.

- Then click Add a property to create one or choose the property the work is for.

Other ways to start: You can also open an existing client, select a property, and click Create proposal from the property page. The property opens on the map in AI Map view — switch to Services (Step 2) to add your work.

Starting from a measurement instead? See Measuring a property (desktop web app) — you can measure a property first, add a client, then create the proposal from it.


2. Add your install items

Click + Install, give the item a name (create new or pick a favorite), and choose the install type:

- Beds, Turf, and Surfaces - draw the area on the map.

- Walls - draw a line.

- Plants - place points.


Then set the pricing and details and click Add. Repeat for each item - Duranta keeps a running total.

3. Review pricing and subtotals

Each service's price and frequency roll up into the proposal total. Add fees or discounts as needed.

4. Send it

Click Review & send to preview the proposal as your client will see it, then Publish & share or Preview as customer with Send email via Duranta or Copy link to share it
