Contractor Estimate Template Excel, Job Costing Spreadsheet, Construction Quote Template

Contractor estimate template and job costing spreadsheet in one Excel workbook. Build a quote from your own price book, send the client a clean printable quote, then track what every job really cost and made.

WHAT IT DOES
- Price book: your materials, labour rates, subcontractors, equipment and fees at your cost (300 items). Default markup per category, or a markup per item
- Estimate builder: pick items or type your own, enter quantities, and unit prices, line totals, taxes, deposit and balance calculate for you. Your cost, gross profit and margin show before you send
- Client quote: a printable one-page quote filled in from the estimate, with your business details, the client, line items, up to two taxes, deposit, terms and a signature line. Your costs and markup never appear on it
- Taxes: two tax lines with your own names and rates (GST/PST, HST, sales tax...). Each one applies to all lines, materials only, or labour only
- Jobs: status (lead, quoted, won, in progress, complete, lost), contract price, estimated vs actual cost, hours, profit, margin and money still owed (200 jobs)
- Costs log: receipts and labour against a job # (500 entries). Actual cost and hours flow to the Jobs tab automatically
- Dashboard: open quotes, won work, profit, money owed, win rate, costs by category, and a watch list of jobs over estimate or losing money
- Works in any currency
