Glossary

Short definitions of the QuoteCore+ terms and insulation measurement types you will see in the app.

Insulation measurement types

Area. A flat surface measured in m² - ceilings, floors, lofts viewed plan-on, or wall sections viewed face-on. Used for batts, rolls, blown fill, vapour barriers.

Irregular Area. An area that isn't a simple rectangle - L-shaped lofts, rooms with bay extensions, multi-pitch ceiling spaces.

Wall Length × Height (multi_lineal_lxh). Several wall runs measured plan-view as lengths, with one shared height applied. Quick way to quote multi-wall internal insulation jobs.

Wall Height × Length (length_x_height). A single wall measured length × height. Used for one-off wall sections.

Multiple Edge Runs (multi_lineal). Several edge sealing or tape runs added together as one component line. Use when the same product appears in several places.

Lineal. A single continuous run measured in metres - perimeter edge bead, expanding foam fillet, sealing tape along a wall plate.

Count. Individual items - bags of blown fill, packs of batts, downlight covers, fire collars, access hatches.

Fixed. A flat amount that doesn't scale with measurement - delivery, access lift hire, minimum call-out, allowances.

Hours / Days. Labor billed by time rather than by quantity installed.

QuoteCore+ terms

Actual measurement. The real-world measurement after waste and (if relevant) pitch have been applied to the plan measurement.

Component. A reusable insulation item with its own price, pack size, labor rate, and waste settings.

Customer quote. The polished, customer-facing version of the quote. For insulation work the default label is Insulation Works.

Digital takeoff. Tracing measurements directly on an uploaded floor plan or site drawing.

Extra. A non-core component bucket for call-outs, allowances, hidden items, or anything outside the main scope.

Manual quote. A quote built by typing measurements straight into the quote builder, without a digital takeoff.

Pitch multiplier. A factor that converts plan-view roof or loft area into actual slope area for insulation that follows the rafters.

Plan measurement. The raw measurement taken from the plan, before waste or pitch is applied.

Quote builder. The screen where you assemble areas, components, prices, and notes into the final quote.

Takeoff. The list of measurements that drives the quote - whether digital or manual.

Billing terms

Cap. A numeric limit on something your plan allows - quotes per month, components total, storage bytes, etc. Hitting a cap blocks new additions but never deletes existing data. See Tier limits.

Dunning. The process Stripe (and we) follow when a renewal payment fails: automatic card retries, status escalation through past_due - grace - suspended, with chances to recover by updating the card. See Billing.

Effective plan. What your account can actually use today. Usually the same as your purchased plan, but collapses to Starter during grace periods or after the trial ends.

Grace period. A 10-day window after a payment failure where you keep read access but can't create new quotes. See Billing.

Trial. A 14-day free taste of every feature, with tiny caps. One per account, ever. See Free trial.
