About This Template

A handshake estimate is not a contract. Clients forget what was discussed, scope creeps, and you end up doing work you never quoted. This pack gives every contractor — general, specialty, or sub — the documents needed to put every job in writing before a single tool touches a job site.

The Contractor Estimate is the core of this pack — a professional 2-page form covering project description, site address, customer information, an itemized materials and labor breakdown table (8 line items per section), subtotal, tax, contingency, and grand total. A Payment Schedule section defines deposit, progress payment, and final payment milestones. Warranty terms and acceptance signature lines complete the form. This estimate does double duty as a formal quote — when the client signs it, you have a documented agreement.

The Scope of Work template defines the project boundaries in plain language — what is included, what is explicitly excluded, and what assumptions underpin the estimate. Scope definition prevents the most common source of disputes. The Change Order Form handles every scope change professionally — description of change, impact on price, impact on schedule, and dual signatures — so you never proceed on a verbal agreement. The Subcontractor Bid Comparison lets you evaluate up to 6 sub bids against 8 criteria side by side so your selection is documented and defensible.

Four forms. The complete pre-construction documentation system for any contractor who wants to run jobs without disputes.

Who Is This For?

  • General contractors who need a professional estimate form for every job they bid
  • Specialty contractors (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing) quoting individual projects
  • Handymen and remodelers who want to look more professional than their competition
  • Subcontractors who need formal change order documentation to protect their margins

  4. 4Issue a Change Order every time scope changes — never proceed on a verbal adjustment
  5. 5Use the Bid Comparison to evaluate subcontractor quotes before awarding work

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the estimate be used as a contract?

A signed estimate with payment terms and scope of work functions as a simple contract for most residential and small commercial work. For larger projects with complex terms, consult a construction attorney about a formal contract.

How many line items does the estimate have?

The estimate has 8 materials line items and 8 labor line items with unit, quantity, unit price, and extended total columns. For larger itemized projects, submit multiple estimate pages.

Does the Change Order form work for time-and-materials changes?

Yes. The Change Order includes fields for fixed-price adjustments and time-and-materials rate changes, with estimated hours and materials impact on the total contract value.

Should I issue a Change Order for small additions?

Yes — every time. The cost of a signature is zero. The cost of a dispute over an undocumented scope change can be significant. The professional habit is to document every change, regardless of size.
