Estimates are assumptions with numbers
Every estimate rests on assumptions — site conditions, material grades, scope boundaries. The professional format states them: \"assuming X, expect Y\". Stated assumptions are protection; silent ones become disputes.
Itemize even the approximate
A single round number invites doubt; an itemized estimate — materials here, labor there, contingency shown — demonstrates the thinking and lets clients engage with specifics. Approximation with structure reads as competence.
From estimate to quote to invoice
As scope firms up, the estimate's lines become a quotation's commitments, then an invoice. The saved-record chain keeps the history. Region sets currency.
