Free template · Estimating

Free construction estimate template customers trust.

Scope lines, allowances, alternates, and exclusions in one clean format. Present Good/Better/Best when the job deserves options.

What makes an estimate signable

Scope spelled out line by line, so the customer knows what is included before they compare your number to anyone else's.

Allowances for fixtures and finishes with dollar amounts, plus a clear exclusions list that protects both sides.

Alternates priced separately. Customers upgrade themselves instead of negotiating your base price down.

The BuildX version

Estimate lines seed the job budget directly. Takeoff quantities flow in, Good/Better/Best tiers price from the same assemblies, and the signed option locks the budget.

Questions shops ask

Should I show one price or three tiers?

Three tiers when finishes vary, one fixed price when scope is tight. The template covers both.

How do I protect margin on allowances?

Price allowances at realistic mid-grade numbers and spell out what happens when selections exceed them: a signed change order.
