Build a trade quote that wins the job and protects the margin — materials and labor itemized, assumptions and exclusions stated, variations priced by rule, and the professional one-page layout customers trust. Use when a tradesperson says 'help me quote this job', 'I keep losing money on jobs', 'customer wants a price for X', or 'how do I quote a day rate vs fixed'. Produces a ready-to-send quote plus the internal costing sheet behind it.

# Trade Quote Builder Skill

Most trade quotes lose money in the writing, not the doing: labor guessed
optimistic, materials priced from memory, and — the killer — no exclusions
line, so "while you're here, could you also…" becomes free work. A
professional quote is two documents: the internal costing sheet (honest hours
× real rate + materials + margin) and the customer's one-pager (clear scope,
what's included, what isn't, how variations get priced). This skill builds
both, and it prices the *variation rule* in advance — because the profitable
jobs are the ones where "extra" was defined before it happened.
