Builder quote template
A builder's quote is clearest when it follows the job: each stage of work, the materials, and any provisional sums the client chooses later.
What a clear builder's quote shows
- The job and the site address
- Each stage of work as its own line, by the job or by the day
- Materials, with quantities and units (square metres, items)
- Provisional sums for items the client will choose
- How long the quote is valid, and when payments are due
- What is not included, such as skip hire or making good
CIS and the VAT domestic reverse charge
Building work in the UK can fall under the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS), and some building and construction services use the VAT domestic reverse charge. Ask your accountant whether either applies to your work and your customer. This template does not work out either for you.
