Why Is a Good Quote So Important?
As a contractor, the quote is your first impression. A professional, clear quote can be the difference between getting the job or losing it to a competitor.
What Should a Good Quote Template Include?
A complete contractor quote should include:
1. Your business details – name, logo, registration number, contact info
2. Customer details – name, address, property designation
3. Job description – detailed scope, inclusions and exclusions
4. Price breakdown – labor, materials, tax deductions, VAT, total
5. Terms – validity period, estimated timeline, payment terms, guarantees
5 Common Mistakes When Writing Quotes
1. Too vague descriptions
2. Forgetting to separate materials and labor
3. No validity period
4. Taking too long to respond
5. Unprofessional appearance
