Before

Before the build

Each new estimator deployment risked becoming a separate build with repeated quote logic and duplicated maintenance.

Each new estimator deployment risked becoming a separate build with repeated logic

Configuration changes would have to be managed manually per site

Lead capture and estimate logic would become harder to maintain across clients

There was no shared platform model for reuse or operational visibility

Build

What was built

Delivered scope

  • Config-driven estimate engine
  • Multi-client configuration model
  • Embeddable widget architecture
  • Centralized lead storage and admin visibility
  • Notification workflows for new submissions
  • Reusable deployment pattern for additional client sites

Core functionality

  • Configurable pricing rules per client
  • Embeddable frontend widget
  • Centralized backend logic
  • Per-client lead storage and review
  • Notification workflows
  • Reusable deployment architecture
  • Shared system with client-specific configuration

Architecture

How the system was structured

The system was designed as a multi-tenant estimate platform with shared backend infrastructure, client-specific configuration, and an embeddable frontend layer that could be deployed across multiple websites.

  • Embeddable frontend widget for website integration
  • Backend service handling estimate logic and lead submission
  • Centralized data storage for leads and per-client configuration
  • Client-aware routing for notifications and admin review
  • Reusable architecture supporting additional deployments

Decisions

Key decisions

These choices shaped the build around the workflow problem instead of adding features for their own sake.

  • Separated estimate logic from individual website implementations
  • Used configuration to drive client-specific behavior instead of cloning the application
  • Designed the system for repeatable deployment from the beginning
  • Treated the project like a reusable platform rather than a one-off project asset

Outcome

What changed

Created a reusable multi-tenant estimate platform with shared backend logic, client configuration, and embeddable deployment.

  • Reduced repeated implementation work for future estimator deployments
  • Created a clearer platform foundation for productized lead qualification
  • Demonstrated a SaaS-like architecture approach rather than one-off project thinking
