Does this get me an estimate from a contractor?
No. This is a document maker for preparing your own estimate from prices and quantities you enter. It does not contact contractors, look up local labour rates or assess a job from photographs. Get the underlying prices first, then use the generator to present them to your customer.
What should I check if my downloaded estimate looks wrong?
Check each quantity and rate, the selected currency and the single tax rate. Reopen the PDF to check long descriptions, customer details and notes for missing or clipped text. Correct the form and generate it again before sending. Keep the final PDF separately because the page does not save your estimate between visits.
How is an estimate different from a quote?
An estimate is an approximate cost; a quote is a firm offer. Estimates suit jobs where the final figure depends on what the work reveals. Use the quote generator for fixed offers.
Should I say it is an estimate?
Yes - state it in the notes so the client understands the figure may change. That distinction protects both sides.
Does it cost anything?
No. There is no account or fee; the PDF is generated on your device.
What can I include in the estimate PDF?
You can include a logo, business and customer details, reference, validity date, custom project information, item descriptions, quantities, rates, one tax rate, currency, and notes. The totals update as you edit the form.
