Terms and notes
This is an estimate, not a fixed price. The final cost may change if the scope changes or if hidden problems are found once work starts. We will tell you before any extra cost is added.
An estimate is a promise about how you will behave when the cost moves. These six lines make that promise clear.
Clients compare materials to what they can see in a store, and labor to what they expect a day to cost. Mixing them makes both harder to defend. Keep your markup on materials visible or inside the unit price, but be consistent.
An estimate is your best number today, not a promise. Name the things that change it: hidden damage, a change in scope, material price swings. Promise to tell the client before any extra cost is added.
Many clients relax when you add "we will not exceed this figure by more than 10% without your approval". It turns an open-ended number into one they can budget for.
Permits, disposal, delivery, equipment hire, travel time. They are easy to forget at quote time and painful to absorb later, so give each its own line.
If you buy materials for the job, a deposit covers them. Put the percentage and the due date on the estimate so the first payment is part of the yes.
Material and labor costs move. Two weeks is typical for estimates; after that, the client asks for a fresh figure instead of holding you to an old one.
A starting list per trade. Prices are yours to set; these are the lines that tend to get forgotten.
Send the same figures as a page your client can approve online. They sign, you take the deposit, and you see when they opened it.
