Use this guide when a customer asks how much a job will cost and you have enough information to price it. Have your site notes or brief, measurements, material costs, your day rate and your standard terms ready.

Step by step

  1. Confirm the scope

    Write down exactly what the customer wants, based on your visit or their brief. Ask questions about anything unclear, such as finishes, access, waste removal or who supplies materials. A clear scope is the foundation of a fair price.
