Many states require the contractor license number on estimates, contracts and advertising. Add it in the business section so it prints on every document.
List each circuit and device, the panel work, fixtures (supplied by you or the customer), permits and exclusions. For commercial bids, follow the plans and reference the drawing sheet numbers.
A quote is a fixed price for a clearly defined job; an estimate is an approximate price that can change. Use a quote when you know exactly what the job involves.
Your business details, the customer, a quote number and date, each item with price, taxes, the total, how long the quote is valid and your terms.
