How to build a contractor estimate

Quick answerA contractor estimate should separate labor, materials, subcontractor costs and project-specific allowances so the customer can see what is included.

Contractor estimates work best when the scope is specific. Break the job into measurable phases, state assumptions, and note exclusions that could change the final price.

Labor, materials and scope

List labor and materials separately when that makes the proposal easier to understand. For remodeling or repair work, add demolition, disposal, permits or subcontracted work when they apply.

Use the result as a starting point

Review the calculation against your actual costs, scope and local requirements before sending it to a customer. The free satellite tool is designed for one calculation at a time; the full Clousit PWA is for saved customers, reusable services, job history and ongoing workflows.

One estimate is free. Your whole workflow belongs in Clousit.

Install the Clousit PWA to save clients, reuse service presets, track jobs, keep full history and use Pro workflows — without starting from scratch every time.
