An estimate is a written price you are offering before the work starts. The two things that decide whether it wins the job are how clearly it describes the scope and how obviously it expires.
What a contractor estimate should contain
- Your business details and license number where required
- The customer name and the job address
- An estimate number and the date you wrote it
- A valid until date, because prices move and you should not be held to a number from six months ago
- Scope in plain language, line by line, so the customer knows what is and is not included
- What is explicitly excluded, which is the line that prevents most disputes
- Subtotal, tax, any deposit required to book the work, and the total
What goes on a concrete contractor estimate
These are the lines a concrete job usually needs. They are already in the template and in the generator, so you edit rather than start from an empty page.
- Excavation and grade prep
- Form work and rebar, #4 at 18 in oc
- Ready mix, 4,000 psi, 12 cu yd
- Place, screed and broom finish
- Strip forms, cure and seal
Delete what does not apply, add what does. The point is that a customer looking at an itemized concrete estimate can see where the money went, which is what stops the argument before it starts.
Concrete is ordered by the cubic yard, and a yard is 27 cubic feet. At 4 inches thick, the 12 yards on this template cover about 970 square feet, before anything extra for waste and a low spot in the grade.
What to settle before the Concrete estimate goes out
Say what the price assumes about the ground: grade prep, compaction and truck access to the forms. A pump is a separate charge when the truck cannot reach, so say whether it is in.
