How to quote as a contractor
A construction quote wins or loses the job on clarity. Clients compare bids line by line, so an estimate that separates labour from materials, states what is and isn’t included, and gives a realistic timeline beats a vague lump sum every time.
This template opens with the lines a contractor estimates most, plus space for a deposit and a validity period. Adjust the scope, set how long the price holds, and send a polished PDF the client can accept.
What to include
- Scope of work and what’s excluded
- Labour estimate — hours or a fixed price
- Materials, itemised or as an allowance
- Project timeline and start window
- Validity period and deposit on acceptance
Typical terms: Valid 30 days · 30% deposit on acceptance
Frequently asked questions
What should a contractor quote include?
A clear scope of work, labour and materials as separate lines, a timeline, and your terms — validity period, deposit and what is excluded. Spelling out exclusions up front prevents disputes when the job runs.
How long should my quote be valid?
Most contractors set a validity period of 14–30 days so material-price swings don’t erode the margin. Note it in the terms; this template has a spot for it.
