Builder's quote template
A quote that wins the job and a quote that stands up later are the same document written properly. Before a homeowner is bound, the law requires them to be given the main features of the work and the total price including VAT. Where the deal is made while you are with them away from your business premises — at their kitchen table, say — or straight after meeting them there, that information and their cancellation rights must reach them on paper or by email first. A contract to build a new building is outside those rules; extensions, alterations and repairs are not. This quotation sets out the scope, what is and is not included, priced lines, provisional sums, programme, payment stages and how long the price holds, with the cancellation information, a cancellation form and the acceptance signature.
1 document, one price each. Helmet colours vary from site to site. This is a common convention, not a legal standard.

Legal basis
What these documents are built on.
Printed on the forms themselves, so you and whoever reviews your submission are reading the same references. Law and guidance are kept apart, because they are not the same thing.

HSE guidance, British Standards and industry codes are not statute and carry no force in themselves — they are the standard the document is built to. And citing an instrument is not the same as satisfying it: what discharges the duty is a competent person in your business assessing this job and completing the document properly.
Our one rule
We will not tell you this makes you compliant.
No template can. HSE says it of its own examples: “Do not just copy an example and put your company name to it as that would not satisfy the law and would not protect your employees.” SSIP assessors want risk assessments written for a specific project within the last twelve months, and a generic document with your logo on it is unlikely to pass, whoever sold it to you.
What you are buying is the structure and the prompts — every section the law and HSE guidance expect the document to address, with the reference beside it. The judgement stays yours.
Why we don’t say “compliant”Before you buy
Will the main contractor accept it?
No template can promise that, and we won’t. It is written from the approving side of the desk, but your competent person adapts it to the job and signs it off. That step is what makes it yours.
Is VAT included in the price?
No. Prices are ex VAT; VAT is added at checkout.
What format is it?
A fillable PDF with a tooltip on every field. Or complete it online: type your site once and it downloads finished, with your logo on every page.
What happens when the law changes?
Every source is re-checked monthly. A change that matters raises a revision, and you get it free.
Is it a subscription?
No. Pay once. No subscription, no login, no expiry.
