What a clean quote looks like.

An annotated example of a quotation from a UK decorating subcontractor: the version a QS or PM signs off without an RFI round, instead of bouncing it back with seven clarifying questions. Free, ungated past your name and email. No mailing list.

What's inside

Thirteen sections. Six pages. No fluff.

  • Header anatomy: the seven cells the QS checks first
  • Scope of works, organised by trade package phase
  • The pricing table: four cells per line, and the traps in each
  • Exclusions named on the cover, not buried at line 47
  • Assumptions made visible so they can be challenged before mobilisation
  • Quote validity period: a real expiry, normally 30 days
  • Payment terms and lead time, in numbers
  • Eight common quote errors and the discipline to avoid them
  • The supporting pack: insurance, accreditations, comparable scheme, RAMS readiness
  • A plain language appendix for the spec writers

Written by Tomas Nejedly (Managing Director) and Pawel Kalisiak (Director). It follows the same layout we use on quotes for our main contractor clients. We are CHAS accredited, with £10m Employers' Liability and £5m Public Liability cover.
