- Edit the notes and deposit terms, then download the PDF and keep a copy with the quote number.
Questions
How do I write a construction quote?
Visit the site and agree exactly what the customer wants. Then price each stage and the materials separately, show labour by the day with the number of days, state whether VAT is included, and say how long the price is valid and when it could change. These are the points Citizens Advice tells homeowners in England to look for.
Can I charge more than my quote?
In England, Citizens Advice says a trader can't charge more than the quoted price unless the customer asks for extra work, agrees to pay for extra work the trader finds, or the trader made a genuine mistake writing or adding up the price. Put this in your notes so both sides know where they stand.
Is this a construction proposal or bid?
It's the priced part: what you'll do, what it costs and for how long the price holds. For a tender with method statements, drawings or schedules, send those documents alongside this quote.
Can I edit it in Word?
No. You get a PDF. Edit the quote here and download it again whenever the job changes.
