How to write a construction quote

  1. Describe the job in one line your client understands — “Repaint living room and hallway”.
  2. List the work by trade with quantities and units: m² of wall, linear metres of skirting, hours of labour. Start from a trade template and edit it.
  3. Add materials from any calculator with “Add to quote” — quantities come over automatically.
  4. Set prices and tax per line. Different VAT rates on the same quote are fine; the totals show each rate separately.
  5. State terms: validity, payment schedule, what’s not included.
  6. Send it as a PDF or a link. With Pro, your client can accept online and you see it instantly.

What a good quote includes

  • Your business name, contact details and tax number.
  • The client’s name and the site address.
  • A quote number, date and validity period.
  • Itemised lines with quantity, unit, unit price and tax.
  • Subtotal, discounts, tax breakdown and total.
  • Payment terms and how to accept.

Frequently asked questions

Is the quote maker free?

Yes. You can keep up to 3 quotes and download PDFs for free. Pro gives you unlimited quotes, your logo on every document, no QuantoObra branding and a link your client can accept online.

Which trades does it support?

Any building or renovation trade: painting, drywall, plastering, tiling, flooring, masonry and concrete, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, roofing, insulation, demolition and cleaning. Each has a starter template you can edit.

Can I use different tax rates on one quote?

Yes. Set the rate on each line — for example a reduced rate on labour and the standard rate on materials. The totals list the tax for each rate.

How does my client accept the quote?

With Pro, press “Share with client” and send the link by WhatsApp, email or text. Your client opens it on any device, downloads the PDF and accepts by typing their name. The quote shows as accepted in your list.

Can I write a quote in another language?

Yes. Choose the document language for each quote — handy when the client speaks a different language than you. The client’s link opens in that language too.

Are my quotes private?

Quotes are stored on your device and, if you sign in, backed up to your account. A shared quote can be opened by anyone with its link, and you can stop sharing it at any time.
