What is a standard contingency percentage in construction estimates?

A 10% to 15% contingency buffer is standard for residential remodeling to cover unforeseen plumbing, electrical, or structural framing repairs.

Can I add sales tax and GST/VAT to materials?

Yes. The estimate automatically computes sub-totals, customizable sales tax or VAT percentages, and the grand total.

Can this estimate be used as a binding contract upon client signature?

Yes. The integrated client acceptance signature block can serve as formal authorization to begin procurement and work.

What is a quotation?

A quotation (or quote) is a document a supplier sends a prospective customer stating the price, scope and terms for a job before it begins. Trades, agencies and service businesses use quotations to win work and to set expectations on cost and timeline up front. A clear quote itemizes the work, shows the subtotal, tax and total, and states validity and payment terms. These free quotation templates — from construction and AMC to interior design and security — download as PDF or Word ready to send.

Professional, Export-Ready Formatting

Every template has fill-in fields you can customize. Edit and rewrite the text with our built-in AI-enabled document editor, then export to PDF or Word.

Material takeoff lists, trade labor splits, and unit pricing

Build client confidence with clear, itemized construction estimates. This template separates materials (lumber, concrete, drywall, electrical wiring, plumbing fixtures) from trade labor hours. It allows unit pricing per square foot or linear foot, ensuring clients see exactly where their investment is going.

Equipment hire, demolition waste disposal, and municipal permit fees

Cover all job site overhead expenses. The estimate includes dedicated line items for dumpster rental, hazardous waste disposal, scaffolding hire, heavy machinery leasing, and city building inspection permit fees.

Contingency buffer, payment draw schedule, and signature acceptance

Protect against unexpected site discoveries by including a standard 10% to 15% material price escalation contingency line. A formal client signature and date block turns the estimate into an approved work authorization.
