Open templateAn estimate answers two questions before the job starts: what will you do, and what will it cost? Put your business name and contact information at the top, the client and job address, an estimate number, the date, and a validity window. Then list the work in enough detail that the client knows exactly what they are getting, with labor and materials separated so change orders are easy to reconcile. Closing with a validity date is the line most people skip and then regret when material prices move three weeks later.
An estimate is your best projection of what the job will cost, and the number can move if the scope changes. A quote is a fixed price you commit to. An invoice is what you send after the work is done to collect payment. Start with an estimate or quote to win the job, then convert it straight into an invoice once the client approves, rather than retyping the numbers.
Send your estimate the same day you walk the job, while the client is still motivated and before a competitor has called them back. A clear, itemized estimate wins against a competitor who just writes a total on a napkin, because the client can see exactly what they are paying for. A free VenueBill account lets the client approve it online and converts it to an invoice in one click, so you are not retyping anything the day the job is done.
Send estimates and invoices, accept card and bank payments, and track who has paid, all from one free account.

An estimate is a good-faith projection that can change if the scope or material costs shift. A quote is a fixed price you commit to for the described scope. Use an estimate when the work could vary; use a quote when you are confident in the numbers.
Your business name and contact details, the client name and job address, an estimate number, the date, a validity window, itemized labor and materials, any permit or disposal costs, the total, and a note that the price can change if the scope changes.
