What to include

✓ Customer and jobsite details
✓ Specific labor and project scope
✓ Materials, equipment, and allowances
✓ Assumptions, exclusions, and change terms
✓ Schedule, expiration, deposit, and payment terms

Useful starter line items

＋ Project labor
＋ Materials or material allowance
＋ Equipment or rental costs
＋ Permits, disposal, delivery, or travel

A STRONGER QUOTE

Three details that prevent confusion.

Separate labor and materials

Visible categories make the price easier to review and let you adjust one part of the scope without rewriting the entire quote.

Write down the exclusions

State which repairs, finishes, permits, cleanup, or hidden conditions are not included in the listed price.

Define changes before work

Explain that added work or changed conditions require customer approval before the scope and price are updated.
