What's Included:

This isn't just a quote template — it's the document that does the explaining for you, so the client stops comparing on price alone.

✅ 25-page proposal layout built to turn enquiries into signed jobs, with every stage of the project written out in plain language.

✅ Six work stages — from setting out and groundworks through to snagging and handover — already written, so you delete what doesn't apply instead of writing from scratch.

✅ Materials specification page listing every element by make and model. This is the page that separates you from the quote that came in cheaper, because that one almost certainly doesn't say what's being fitted.

✅ A full page of exclusions, stated upfront. Most contractors bury these in small print. Putting them in the open reads as confidence, not as a get-out.

✅ Costs broken down stage by stage, not hidden in one figure. A single number invites comparison on price; a breakdown invites comparison on content.

✅ Optional extras page with tick boxes — the things that cost a fraction while you're already on site. Typically adds 10–20% to job value at almost no extra mobilisation cost.

✅ Variation Request Form to document what you find on site, give the client three options, and get it signed before you carry on. The single best protection against an argument over the final account.

✅ Price Objection Scripts — eight objections and exactly what to say to each, so you hold your price instead of discounting.

✅ Follow-Up Email Sequence — five ready-written messages over three weeks, for the quotes that go quiet. That's work you've already surveyed and priced.

✅ 12-Page Setup Guide covering every step, from adding your logo to exporting the finished document, plus the eight things people get stuck on.

✅ Built-in terms, acceptance and signature page so the job is agreed properly before anyone starts.

✅ Pre-filled with real contractor wording — you change the details, not write the document.

✅ Fully editable in Canva with a free account. No software to install, no design skills, no subscription.

✅ Send digitally or print and bind it. Handing over a bound copy on the kitchen table is a different conversation from an email attachment.

✅ Instant download. Set up once in ten minutes, then five minutes per quote forever.
