Free Contractor Quote Template
Contractors quote because renovation work involves both labour and materials, and material prices change. A detailed quote protects both sides by itemising what's included, what subcontractors are involved, and how price variations for materials will be handled.

Frequently asked questions
What should a contractor's quote include?
A professional contractor quote lists labour costs, materials (specified by brand and grade), subcontractors being used, a project timeline, payment terms (stage payments are standard for larger jobs), and a variation clause explaining how changes to scope will be priced. Vague quotes cause most contractor disputes.
How do contractors handle material price increases after quoting?
Many contractor quotes are valid for 30 days due to material price volatility. If the client doesn't proceed within that window, you can requote. For longer projects, include a variation clause that allows you to adjust the materials cost if supplier prices increase by more than a fixed percentage (typically 5% to 10%).
Should contractors quote labour and materials separately?
Yes, for transparency. Some clients want to supply their own materials; others want you to procure everything. Quoting labour and materials as separate line items lets the client make an informed choice. It also protects you if a client supplies low-quality materials and then disputes the finished result.
