BuildWellEstimates and invoices in Spanish or English, for every client
Use the app in Spanish or English. Send each client their estimate, signing page and pay page in the language they read.
Spanish estimates, in short
- The whole app in Spanish or English
- Any estimate or invoice printed in either language
- AI questions, plans and line items in clear Spanish
- Signing and pay pages in the document’s language
- Your own lines translated for the printed copy
- Choose the language per document, not per account
The app in your language
BuildWell follows your phone’s language, or you can set it yourself in the app. You don’t have to think in one language and work in another.
It’s the same app and the same account either way, on iPhone, Android and the web. Switch whenever you like.
- In Spanish, the screens are in Spanish
- That covers estimates, invoices, clients, projects and settings
- When you switch, your estimates, invoices and clients stay exactly as they were
- Documents you’ve already sent keep their own language
An AI that asks in Spanish
Describe the job in Spanish by voice or text, and BuildWell answers in Spanish. It’s clear, neutral Spanish that reads naturally whether your client is from Mexico, Puerto Rico or Colombia.
Pricing doesn’t change with the language. Materials are still priced at stores near the job, checked within 30 days, and labor at the median wage for each trade in your metro, plus your overhead and markup.
- The questions that change the price are written in Spanish
- So are the plan of the work and the names of the line items
- Unsure of an answer? Choose “confirm on site” to carry it as a stated assumption
- Edit the plan in Spanish, or tell the AI in plain words what to change
- The AI keeps the edits you’ve already made
Each document in the client’s language
Language is a setting on each document, not a separate copy. Every draft estimate and invoice has an English and Español switch.
Once it’s sent, the document keeps the language it went out in. What the client signs is what they read.
- A crew lead who works in Spanish can send a homeowner an estimate in English
- The next client can get theirs in Spanish
- Set a default language for your account
- Change it on any one document before you send it
Spanish from top to bottom
A Spanish estimate is a presupuesto from top to bottom, down to the lines you wrote yourself. Review the result before you send it, as you would anything going to a client.
- The title, the column headings and the totals are in Spanish
- So are the tax and discount lines and the signature block
- Line items from BuildWell’s catalog have proper Spanish names, written for the trades
- Lines you wrote yourself are translated for the printed copy
- A custom line you typed in English still reads in Spanish on the client’s document
Signed and paid in Spanish
When you send a Spanish estimate, the page your client opens is in Spanish too. A Spanish invoice opens on a Spanish page with its pay buttons and your payment details.
Your client never has to puzzle through an English screen to say yes or to pay you. That matters most to the clients who are least comfortable asking.
- The name field, the signature pad and the accept and decline buttons are in Spanish
- You see when they open the link and how many times
- So you know whether they’ve read it before you follow up
- With the client in person, collect the signature on your own phone instead
- Either way, the signed estimate prints with their name, signature and the date
- It prints in the estimate’s language, ready to share as a PDF
Your brand in both languages
Your logo, brand color, document design and business details are the same in both languages. Nobody gets the second-best version.
Whichever language a client reads, they get the same professional document. Your name is at the top and every line is clearly priced.
- Write your terms and conditions in the language your clients read
- Custom label wording applies to English documents
- Spanish documents use BuildWell’s Spanish labels
- Change the document’s headline to the title your clients expect, in English or Spanish
- Pick from six document designs
- Add your license number and contact details
- Choose which columns the client sees: quantities, unit prices, discount and tax
For crews and clients who switch languages
Plenty of contractors run the crew in Spanish and talk to clients in English, or the other way round. BuildWell is built for that.
Estimate on site in the language you think in, then send it in the language the client reads, without retyping a line.
- Clients who read Spanish get a document they understand completely
- Fewer questions from the client
- Fewer misunderstandings about scope
- A signature from someone who knows exactly what they agreed to
Invoices, deposits and payments, too
Everything you do after the estimate works in either language. Create the invoice from the signed estimate with the same lines, and set its language with the same English and Español switch.
Your payment details and terms print the same way on every invoice. A client who reads Spanish knows exactly how much is due now, how to pay it and what’s left.
- Ask for a deposit
- List your Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, PayPal or check details
- Let clients pay by card or bank transfer once you’ve connected Stripe
- Payments are recorded on the invoice whichever language it’s in
