Summary: Walk through the step by step process of getting started with the SimplyWise Cost Estimator app, from the Create button to your project details.

---

To get started, just to tap on the blue +Create button in the lower right corner of the Home screen.

This will take you to the project description where you’ll enter all of the details pertaining to your project.

Remember to be as detailed as possible and include any measurements you have. The more detailed a description you provide, the better and more accurate your estimate will be.

Once completed, tap the arrow button in the upper right-hand corner. You can elect to add photos to the estimate by tapping on the small camera icon above the keyboard (pictured below). The app will then draft your estimate, and will likely ask a few additional clarifying questions. Once generated, you can add your business information (like your contact indo, etc.), adjust mark-up or other rates, save to your folder category, and send it to your client via email.
