# What is the process for creating an estimate for a specific location without it being linked to a job or having to book a job?

## Problem

Users need to create estimates for locations before booking jobs.

## Solution

### Confirm Your Settings and Build the Estimate

1. Open ServiceTitan.
2. Go to the call booking screen.
3. Look for the option to **Build Estimate**. If you do not see the **Build Estimate** option, contact your administrator and see [Set up estimate creation when booking a job](/v1/docs/set-up-estimate-creation-when-booking-a-job).
4. Return to the Call Booking screen and enter a Service Location.
5. Click **Build Estimate**.
6. Follow the prompts to complete your estimate.

This process lets you create an estimate for a customer which can either be sold from the office or attached to a new job you're booking for a technician to go out on. If you need to sell the estimate later, see [How to convert an estimate that is not linked to a job into a Sold estimate](/v1/docs/how-to-convert-an-estimate-that-is-not-linked-to-a-job-into-a-sold-estimate).

A sales tech sells an estimate. -or- A service, maintenance, or install tech sells an estimate. -or- A CSR sells an estimate over the phone. Let's say the estimate total is below the sold threshold (the customer wants to schedule the work, but hasn't fully decided).
