Quote & Estimate Templates
A quote is not an invoice. It is the price you put in front of a client before the work — a fixed figure they can accept, with a validity period and a clear scope. Build one below, download it, and convert it to an invoice once it is signed off.

Each page covers the quoting decisions that actually matter for that trade — fixed price vs estimate, deposits, change orders, revision limits, and how the accepted quote becomes an invoice.
A construction quote prices a defined scope of work — materials, labour, plant, and allowances — before a hammer is lifted. Unlike your invoice, which bills work already done, a quote commits you to a price the client can plan around, so the detail you put in now decides whether the job stays profitable.
A consulting quote translates a scope of work into a price the client can approve before the engagement starts. It is not your invoice — it sells the outcome and pins down what is (and is not) included, so a retainer or project fee does not quietly turn into unpaid scope creep.
A web design quote sets the price and the boundaries of a build before you start — scope, milestones, revision limits, and what counts as a change. It is not your invoice; it is the agreement that stops a five-page brochure site from sprawling into an unpaid web app.
A freelance quote is how you agree a price and a scope before you start work — so you are not negotiating money halfway through a project you have already half-delivered. It is the document that comes before your invoice, and a tight one protects your time, your deposit, and your right to walk away.
A landscaping quote prices a job before the first turf is cut — whether that is a one-off garden design or a season of maintenance. It is not your invoice; it sets the figure the client signs off on, and it needs to handle the two very different ways landscaping gets paid: project work and recurring care.
An electrician's quote prices a job before any cable is pulled — call-out, labour, materials, and the testing and compliance paperwork the work requires. It is not your invoice; it is the figure the customer approves, and on electrical work it has to account for permits, inspection, and certification that other trades may not need.
Quote, estimate, or invoice?
An estimate is usually indicative rather than a fixed price, though local consumer law may limit how far the final figure can move. A quote usually works as a commercial offer; if the client accepts it and the essential terms are clear, it will usually form the agreed price and scope, subject to local contract and consumer-law rules. An invoice is the request for payment after the work is done. They typically run in that order on most jobs.
This page is general information to help you create a quote — it is not legal, tax, or accounting advice. Rules differ by country and change over time. Confirm requirements with your local tax authority or a qualified professional before relying on a quote as a binding agreement.
