Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an estimate and a quote?

An estimate is a rough approximation of costs, while a quote is a more formal, fixed price offer. In this template, we use 'estimate/quote' to cover both, but you can adjust the title based on your commitment level.

Why is it important to include assumptions and exclusions?

Assumptions and exclusions clearly define what is not included in the price, such as permits, hazardous waste disposal, or after-hours labor. This prevents misunderstandings and protects you from unexpected cost overruns.

Can I use this for a government contract?

This template is general and may not meet all government contracting requirements. For government work, additional clauses and certifications are often required. Consult the specific agency guidelines or seek legal advice.
