Quote templates for trades
A good quote makes it easy for the customer to say yes: clear scope, price, and next steps. Here is a practical template — and how ProTilbud.no automates the heavy writing.
What should a trade quote include?
- Heading and customer — who the quote is for and the address or site.
- Job description — what will be done, in short paragraphs or bullets.
- Materials and assumptions — what is included and what the customer arranges (access, power, clearing).
- Price and payment terms — fixed price or estimate, VAT treatment, and due date.
- Schedule — when you can start and expected duration.
- Validity — how long the quote stands.
Example letter structure for a trade quote
- Introduction — thank them for the inquiry, brief job summary.
- Scope — bullet list of work to be performed.
- Price — table or line items with total.
- Reservations — standard caveats where needed.
- Signature — name, company, contact, org. number.
