Retail, builder, designer. Same stone, three prices. SlabOS runs a seven-rung markup ladder for you: at every tier an explicit $/sq ft beats a %, and the most specific rule that exists wins. The level comes off the customer's account. Labor gets its own. slabos.com
Most Specific Price WinsWatch the workflow. Put it to work in your shop.
SlabOS countertop estimating connects drawing quantities with material costs, fabrication charges and customer pricing levels. This guide explains how colors, thicknesses, units and pricing rules contribute to a quote, with links to drawing, supplier price-list import and proposal documentation.
Make the rate, unit and override behind a quote easy to explain.
SlabOS price lists combine materials, color and thickness choices, groups, named price levels and fabrication or installation rules. The estimator can select the applicable material and labor level while the shop maintains its underlying defaults. That makes a rate explainable in terms of the customer, material and work being quoted.
The order of overrides matters. A color or thickness rate can take priority over a group fallback, and a material-specific fabrication rule can differ from the general rate. Units matter too: cost, selling price, per-slab pricing and per-square-foot inputs are not interchangeable. The operating guide explicitly distinguishes markup from margin.
Inputs: Materials, colors, thicknesses, pricing levels, fabrication charges and permitted supplier files.
Outputs: A maintained catalog and quote lines based on the selected geometry and pricing context.
Use one sample drawing to compare two customer price levels, then show a reviewed vendor update and the resulting quote.
Customer price levels, material rates and permitted overrides determine the proposed selling price. Review the intended rate and quantity basis before issuing the quote.

Follow this capability into the connected quote-to-install journey:
The website widget uses the SlabOS drawing engine and the shop’s price list on the fabricator’s own website. It produces a draft quote with geometry and customer context; the shop chooses whether to show a price, a range or a review-first experience. Read the Website Quoting page →
The platform page connects countertop estimating and drawing with scheduling, inventory, crews, customer communication and financial work. The linked capability guides explain individual inputs and outputs within that broader workflow. Read the Features page →
