The 2-day follow-up for a foundation excavation estimate

Day 2 is the first email on the default schedule. For excavation, the note should confirm the foundation excavation estimate for $15,000 arrived and ask one question.

Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.

Why it goes quiet

Excavation bids wait on access for the machine and on a locate ticket that is not in yet. A second copy of the whole proposal is harder to answer than one question.

The question to ask

Is the locate scheduled, and can the truck stage on the street? The price includes dig, haul-off of the spoil, and backfill after the walls are poured. It leaves out utility locates you still need to schedule, and rock if we hit it. Do not include unknown rock in a firm price.

If you send it from QuoteLasso

The default schedule is three emails, at 2, 5, and 10 days. Day 10 is the last one. You can move the dates. Add the estimate by typing it in, forwarding the message, or importing a spreadsheet. The customer sees your business name and the address followups@quotelasso.com. A reply comes to your inbox and the remaining follow-ups stop. QuoteLasso does not send texts. During the 14-day trial, due emails can send on their own. After that, Free is manual. Starter is $79/month and Pro is $149/month.

Following up on your foundation excavation estimate

Hi Martin,

I wanted to make sure the foundation excavation estimate for $15,000 came through. It includes dig, haul-off of the spoil, and backfill after the walls are poured.

Is the locate scheduled, and can the truck stage on the street?

Thanks,
