Common questions

What should a trade quote include?

The scope of work, materials, labour, permits, exclusions, how variations are handled, payment terms and how long the price is valid.

Why list exclusions in a quote?

So the customer knows what isn’t included, such as making good or painting, and there is no argument later.

How long should a trade quote be valid?

Often 30 days, because material prices change. State it clearly on the quote.
