Construction Quote Request Form
A construction quote request form asks the things that decide a price: what the job is, where it is, how you get materials in, whether anyone is living there, and when it needs doing.
For builders, trades, contractors and site managers.
Access is why two identical jobs price differently
The same extension is a different job on a corner plot with a driveway than on a terrace with permit parking and a shared alley. Skip loading, material handling and protecting a neighbour's car are all real money that never appears in a description of the work.
So this template asks about parking, access width, floor level and whether the property is occupied during the work. Those four answers are the difference between a quote you can stand behind and one you'll be renegotiating in week two.
A quote request that actually contains the job
"How much do you charge?" is unanswerable, and answering it with a range makes you look expensive to some and cheap to others. The fix isn't a longer reply - it's a better question.
Scope, timing, location and budget are on this form because those four answers turn a vague enquiry into something you can price with confidence, usually without a call.
Site access, scope and dates decide the price
Two identical-sounding jobs price differently because of parking, access, floor level and whether anyone lives there during the work. Those are the questions that stop a quote becoming an argument.
Asking on a form also gives you a written scope. When the job changes - and it will - you have what was originally described, dated, in the customer's own words.
Let them show you, not describe it
A sentence about the problem is a guess; a photo is a fact. This template asks for the details in the customer's own words *and* keeps the questions short enough that they answer all of them.

Questions
Should I ask for a budget on a construction enquiry?
Ask for a range and say why: it stops you designing a £90,000 job for someone with £30,000. Most people answer honestly when the reason is stated.
What if they don't have drawings?
The template asks whether drawings exist and offers "not yet" - which is itself useful, because it tells you the job needs a design stage before it needs a price.
Can I ask for photos or files?
Not yet - uploads are on the roadmap. In the meantime, most people ask for a link to photos, or reply to the response with an email asking for them. Everything else about the job is captured here.
Can I see where each quote request came from?
Yes. Add a hidden tracking parameter to the link (for example one link on your site and another on your Google profile) and it's stored with the response.
How fast can I put this live?
About a minute. Pick the template, change the wording, press save - saving is publishing - and you get a link to share.
Can customers send photos of the job?
Not as uploads yet, but asking for a link to photos works today and most people already have them on a phone. The rest of the detail that drives your price is captured here.
