Cut, welded and priced — agreed before the sparks fly.
Steel is bought by the kilo, cut to the millimetre and argued about by the job. InstaJack puts the gate, the railing and the repair on one approved quote before fabrication starts — because welded work doesn’t unpick itself.

Steel & Metal Works, ready-priced. Then made yours.
Open InstaJack and this book is already there — the jobs steel & metal firms quote every week, at starter prices. Copy them, change every number, add your own. The starter prices below are exactly what the app starts with.
Starter prices are InstaJack's built-in defaults — a starting line, not a market rate. Your prices, your specs, your words replace them the moment you edit the book.
The Steel & Metal Works week, minus the worst parts.
Steel bought before the price is real
Sections, sheet and mesh come out of your pocket at today’s steel price — against a verbal yes from last week.
The quote is approved in writing — and the deposit requested on it — before you order a single length. Steel price moves become the client’s decision, not your risk.
“Make it two metres longer”
The gate grows on installation day. So does the railing. The price, apparently, does not.
Site changes are variations — measured, priced, approved on the client’s phone before the welder strikes. Longer gate, longer quote, both on record.
Repairs that eat the fabrication day
A “quick weld” at a client’s warehouse turns into half a day — logged nowhere, billed from memory, disputed on principle.
Welding repair is a proper job in your starter book. Quote it, send it, get it approved — even the small jobs carry a paper trail.
Four steps. No office. No paperwork.

Invoice & get paid
The approved quote becomes the invoice, your bank details on it. Nothing is ever typed twice.
Asked on site, answered straight.
I price railing by the metre and gates per job. Both?+
Both — the starter book already works that way: railing per metre, gates and shades per job or per bay. Set every job’s unit to how you actually sell it.
Can I take a deposit before ordering steel?+
Yes — request the deposit on the quote itself and watch it land against the invoice. No deposit, no steel run: the paper makes that conversation easy.
What if site measurements change after fabrication?+
Work to the approved quote; anything beyond it is a variation, approved before it’s cut or welded. The approved measurements are the ones that get paid for.
Do shades and car parks fit the same book?+
Yes — car park shades are in the starter book per bay. Add pergolas, staircases or mezzanines as your own jobs whenever the workshop takes them on.
Steel is measured alongside the trades it frames for — it shares most jobs with Carpentry & Fit-Out, Glass & Aluminium and Painting, each opening InstaJack with its own starter price book.
