Carpentry Quote Template

Shop hours, site hours, timber and hardware on their own lines. Free PDF, no sign-up.

Joinery is drawn before it is built, and a drawing is a scope you can bind a price to. The risk is not in the cabinet — it is in the wall the cabinet has to meet, which is why a carpenter's quote should say what the site measure assumed. Split shop time from site time on the document and both sides can see where the hours actually go.

Quote #QUO-4108 · Halloran Bench Joinery · Page 1 of 1

What this quote commits you to

How long it stands: 30 days from issue, with hardwood priced from the current mill list; a species substituted at your request is quoted again before we buy.
What it does not cover: Spray finishing and lacquer, electrical for integrated lighting, and removal of the existing units unless a strip-out line appears above.
What would change the price: A site measure that finds walls out of plumb by more than half an inch over eight feet, which turns a scribe into a made-to-fit panel.
How the client accepts it: A signed quote and a 40% deposit put the job in the shop calendar; the slot is not held on a signature alone.

What to put on a carpentry quote

Shop hours and site hours as separate lines with separate rates
Species, grade and sheet material named — white oak and red oak are not one price
Hardware by manufacturer: hinges, runners, and whether they are soft-close
Whether the piece arrives primed, finished, or bare for the decorator
The site measure date, and what the price assumes about plumb and level
Templating and shop drawings priced as work, because they are
Delivery, access and whether a unit will fit up the stair it is meant for

Questions

Should shop drawings be charged for?

Charge for them and say so on the quote. Drawing a set of alcove units is a day's work that produces the thing the fixed price is fixed to, and giving it away teaches clients that the drawing is the free part of joinery.

How do you protect a fixed price against an out-of-plumb wall?

By naming a tolerance. A scribe absorbs a small deviation and a made-to-fit panel absorbs a large one, and those are different jobs — write the threshold on the quote and it stops being an argument held in somebody's hallway.

Does a deposit hold the shop slot?

It should, and the quote should say that a signature alone does not. Timber gets bought and bench time gets blocked out against deposits, not against intentions.
