TITLE:
Test a construction estimating web app (residential builders / estimators) – screen-recorded usability test
DESCRIPTION:
I'm looking for 4 people with residential construction experience to test Quote60 (quote60.com), a web app for residential builders that covers takeoff from PDF plans, estimating, client quotes, purchase orders, scheduling, job costing, change orders and progress invoicing, plus AI-assisted tools.
What you'll do:
- Create a free account (no payment details needed; I'll provide access to every feature)
- Work through a sample project (a 2-story residential rear extension; plans and price lists provided) using a step-by-step checklist across 4 sessions, done in order:
1. Business setup, price lists and takeoff from PDF plans
2. Building the estimate (assemblies, markups, AI tools)
3. Creating and sending the client quote, and purchase orders
4. Running the job: schedule, site diary, costs, change orders, invoicing, team users
- Screen-record 2 of the 4 sessions while talking out loud about what you're doing and thinking. Testers are split into two groups: Group A records Sessions 1–2, Group B records Sessions 3–4. Your group is assigned at hire.
- For the 2 sessions you don't record, upload the files the app produces (exports, the quote PDF, screenshots) as proof of completion
- Answer a few short check-in questions after each session and send written feedback
Time: about 4½ hours total, spread over a few days.
Deliverables:
- 2 screen recordings with narration (your assigned sessions)
- Proof files for the other 2 sessions (CSV exports, quote PDF, screenshots; full list provided)
- Written notes after each session, including answers to the check-in questions: what worked, what was confusing, anything that broke (with screenshots), what's missing
- A final summary: overall impressions, whether you would pay for it, and which plan
Payment: fixed price, in 2 milestones:
- Milestone 1: Sessions 1–2 (recordings or proof files, plus notes)
- Milestone 2: Sessions 3–4 (recordings or proof files, plus notes and final summary)
Each milestone is released after review.
Requirements:
- Experience in residential construction: general contractor, estimator, project manager, builder, or architect
- Familiar with reading construction plans and doing takeoffs or estimates
- Laptop or desktop (Mac or Windows) with Chrome or Safari, a microphone, and a smartphone
- Comfortable recording your screen (simple built-in tools; instructions provided)
- Clear written English
Nice to have:
- Experience with other estimating or takeoff software (e.g., PlanSwift, Bluebeam, STACK, Buildertrend, CoConstruct, Excel)
- US residential (1–2 family homes) experience
Budget: [fixed price]
Deadline: all sessions completed within 2 days after acceptance.
Access details, sample files, and the full checklist will be sent after hiring.
SKILLS / TAGS:
Construction Estimating, Quantity Takeoff, Usability Testing, Software Testing, User Experience Testing, Residential Construction, Construction Management
SCREENING QUESTIONS:
1. Briefly describe your residential construction experience (role and years).
2. What estimating or takeoff tools do you use today, if any?
3. Are you comfortable screen-recording two sessions while talking out loud? Mac or Windows?
4. When could you complete all 4 sessions?
