What it looks like

Cover of Contractor Estimate and Bid Workbook, Excel and Google Sheets
The Quote sheet, printed as a client would receive it: company details at the top, twelve scope lines each with a price, a subtotal of 42,413 dollars, sales tax and a total, then payment terms and a signature block.
The Estimate Summary sheet, showing material, labor, subcontractor and equipment costs each with their own markup percentage and marked up amount, then overhead, contingency, sales tax and the quote total.
The Takeoff sheet, one row per item of work: thirteen sample rows of a kitchen remodel, each with its job group, a description, a quantity and a unit, the material unit cost typed in yellow and the material cost worked out beside it in white. Rows with no material cost show a dash rather than a zero.

What it does

What you get

  • An Excel workbook with four working sheets: Settings, Takeoff, Estimate Summary and Quote.
  • A takeoff that keeps material, labor, subcontractor and equipment costs apart, with sixty rows ready to fill.
  • Markup set separately for each of those four cost types, because they do not carry the same risk.
  • A loaded labor rate you set once, with a per row override for specialist work.
  • Overhead, contingency and sales tax worked out for you, with tax set to the whole contract or to materials only.
  • A client facing quote sheet that prints portrait on one letter page and never shows your cost or your markup.
  • A sample kitchen remodel already filled in, so you can see every formula working before you clear it.
  • A Start Here guide with the numbered steps and the Google Sheets import.

Who it is for

  • General contractors and remodelers who price their own work.
  • Trade shops in plumbing, electrical or HVAC that bid fixed price work.
  • Anyone rebuilding the same estimating spreadsheet from scratch on every bid.

What it is not

  • Not accounting software. It does not connect to your bank, your payroll or your accounting system.
  • Not an invoicing tool. It produces a quote, not an invoice.
  • No cost database. The unit costs are yours to enter; nobody else's numbers price your job.
  • No macros and no add ins. It is a plain workbook, which is why it opens in Google Sheets.
