Estimating email

Estimating email is one of Demiton's published registers for Australian civil construction. Emails in your estimating mailbox, filed against the opportunity they concern. Demiton keeps it current from the systems a contractor already runs and publishes the record's shape as a versioned JSON Schema, so the same question works whichever system produced the record.

Part of Opportunities in the register catalog.
