Paste your quote in, we'll flag the holes before the client finds them.

Sound familiar?

• “I've quoted this job but I know I've left something out, I just can't see what.”
• “Last time I didn't spell out variations and the client said it was all included.”
• “I keep forgetting to list what's not in the price.”
• “The client's PO terms arrived and they look nothing like my quote.”

What this tool does

Runs your quote through a checklist of the most common causes of quote disputes on UK construction work, missing scope, unclear payment terms, missing exclusions, no variation clause, no retention position, no VAT position. Produces a flag list.

What the law actually says

• •A quote becomes a contract as soon as the client accepts it. What you leave out of the quote is usually what you'll argue about later.
• •The Construction Act implies statutory payment terms into most sub-contracts if yours are unclear. That cuts both ways.
• •Variations are the largest single source of dispute on UK construction work. A one-line variation clause prevents most of them.
