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

Painting measurement types

Area. A flat surface measured in m² - walls measured face-on, ceilings, large panels. Used for paint billed by coverage.

Irregular Area. An area that isn't a simple rectangle - raked walls, gable ends, bay reveals, multi-shape ceilings.

Wall Length × Height (multi_lineal_lxh). Several wall runs measured plan-view as lengths with a shared height applied. Fast way to quote whole-room walls.

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

Multiple Trim Runs (multi_lineal). Several skirting, architrave, or trim runs added together as one component line.

Curved Trim Run (curved_line). A curved skirting, arched architrave, or bay reveal measured along its curve.

Lineal. A single continuous run measured in metres - skirting, architrave, dado, picture rail.

Count. Individual items - doors, windows, radiators, shutters.

Fixed. A flat amount that doesn't scale with measurement - call-out, site protection, dust sheets, allowances.

Hours / Days. Labor billed by time - prep work, sanding, filling, supervision.

QuoteCore+ terms

Actual measurement. The real-world measurement after waste has been applied to the plan measurement.

Component. A reusable painting item with its own price, coverage, labor rate, and waste settings.

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

Digital takeoff. Tracing measurements directly on an uploaded floor plan, elevation, 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.

Plan measurement. The raw measurement taken from the plan, before waste 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.
