Word, Excel or PDF template: which to choose?

  • Word: easy to customise, but manual calculations (risk of a VAT error).
  • Excel: the totals are calculated, but the layout is quickly limited.
  • PDF: clean to send, but not editable.

What these templates have in common: you re-type everything, on every job, and you remain responsible for any omissions.

Faster than a template: a quote in 30 seconds

A template is still a document to fill in by hand. With Zoplee, you describe the job — by keyboard, by voice or from a photo — and the quote is generated complete, priced at the market rate and compliant, in 30 seconds. The mandatory mentions and VAT are already there; you adjust, you send, the client signs.

👉 Try it for free — keep the template for backup, let Zoplee do the rest.

FAQ

Are your templates compliant? Yes: they include the mandatory mentions of a construction quote/invoice. It is up to you to enter your exact details (SIRET, insurance, etc.).

Are they free? Yes, the download is free.

Can I use them as an auto-entrepreneur (sole trader under the micro-enterprise scheme)? Yes — remember the mention "TVA non applicable, art. 293 B du CGI" if you are under the VAT-exemption (franchise en base) scheme. (See: Auto-entrepreneur in construction.)
