Quote validity
Every quote in Bulido has a Valid until date — the moment it stops being binding. You set the default number of days once, under Settings → Quote Settings, in the Default quote validity (days) field.
Range
Bulido accepts values from 1 to 365 days. The default is 30 days — a typical "month to decide" that gives the client time to think and compare offers, without locking your prices in for too long.
What to choose
Depends on your business:
- 14 days: short. Good when material prices move and you don't want to risk a quote accepted a month later turning unprofitable.
- 30 days (default): typical compromise. Long enough for the client, short enough that you still remember what you negotiated.
- 60–90 days: long. Makes sense for big projects and corporate clients with long decision processes.
- 365 days: maximum. Effectively "open-ended". Rarely practical, since material and labour prices shift.
How the validity date works
When you create a new quote, Bulido auto-fills Valid until = send date + your default number of days. You can override that date manually in the quote itself (e.g. "For this client I'll give 60 days, since I know they take a while").
Once the validity date has passed:
- The quote moves to Expired status.
- The client opening the original email may still try to click Accept/Reject, but the decision link may be blocked.
- To revive the quote, edit it (change the date or the content) and send it again.
