Frequently asked questions

Which fields are required for every design profession?

Every request needs contact name, business name, email, phone and a licensed state, plus the profession-specific required fields listed in each section.

Is there a machine-readable version?

Yes. /api/quote-requirements.json lists the same required and optional fields, generated from the same configuration as the quote form.

Can I answer I'm not sure?

Where the form offers it, yes. A licensed agent follows up on anything unclear before carriers are approached.
