How it works

1

Add your line items

List materials and labor separately. Set a markup on materials and an optional tax — the totals update as you type.

2

Add scope & terms

Spell out what's included, your deposit terms and how long the estimate is valid so there are no surprises.

A free estimate template built for contractors and tradespeople

Whether customers ask for an estimate, a bid, or a quote, the document does the same job: it tells them what the work will cost before they say yes. This free quote generator gives you a clean, professional construction quote template that itemizes materials and labor, applies your markup, and totals everything for you — so you can send a polished price the same day you walk the job instead of scribbling numbers on the back of a work order.

It is made for the trades. Plumbers, HVAC techs, electricians, roofers, landscapers, painters, and general contractors all price work the same way: materials plus labor, with a markup that covers overhead and profit. Enter your materials and your hours, set a markup percentage and an optional tax, add your scope and terms, and the estimate builds itself live as you type. No spreadsheet formulas, no math errors, no software to install.

Not sure how to write an estimate that wins the job? Keep it specific. List each material and labor line so the customer sees exactly what they are paying for, spell out what is and is not included in the scope, note any deposit you require, and put a "valid until" date on the price so it does not haunt you three months later. Get those basics right and your estimate reads like a pro — which is exactly the impression that gets you the signature.

Frequently asked questions

Is this estimate and quote generator really free?
Yes — it is 100% free with no signup and no limit on how many estimates you create. LeadChime offers it as a free tool for contractors and tradespeople, and the PDF you download has no watermark.
Do I need to sign up or create an account?
No account is needed to build your estimate. We only ask for your name and email at the moment you download the PDF, so we can send you a copy and a few tips on winning more jobs.
How do I write an estimate for a construction or contracting job?
A solid estimate lists your materials and labor as separate line items, adds a markup on materials, includes a clear scope of work, and states how long the price is valid. This free estimate template builds all of that for you and totals it automatically.
What is the difference between a quote, an estimate, and an invoice?
An estimate is an approximate price before the work, a quote is usually a firmer fixed price you commit to, and an invoice is the bill you send after the job is done. This tool builds estimates and quotes; you can turn the winner into an invoice with our free invoice generator.
Can I add markup, tax, materials, and labor separately?
Yes. Enter materials and labor as their own line items, set a percentage markup on materials, and add an optional tax rate. The construction quote template recalculates the subtotal, markup, tax, and grand total live as you type.
Can I use this for plumbing, HVAC, electrical, roofing, or landscaping work?
Absolutely. The estimate generator works for any trade or service business — plumbers, HVAC techs, electricians, roofers, landscapers, painters, and general contractors all use the same materials-plus-labor format.
