This is just the information I needed because the quota I'm using now seems of no value as I have not gotten any job offers but looking at your write-up I feel the need to update my templates.

In my line of work, I have had to prepare hundreds of quotations for jobs, contract, requisition and request. When I started, I had to look at the templates there, but as I continued I decided to do a bit of research and personal modifications.

You need to note that your quote for the job will either give you the job or otherwise.

First, make sure you itemize this needed for the job and properly describe them to the understanding of whoever will approve it.

Second, the quantity of each item must be stated, this is important because it shows you understood the job or work.

Third unit price should be added to items requiring it then the total price.

Finally and most importantly, let you total price for the job be written in figures and words and in bold characters, this is most important because that is the area of interest for anyone approving it.

Much to say, but with those above your quote will be very presentable.

Nice points. Especially the last part that state that the contract price should be written in bold and in words and figure as well. Very good read

This is very interesting. So many capable contractors have lost projects because they failed to prepare adequate quotation. Some quotations are rejected based on the fact their statement where not clearly and properly explained to the understanding of others.

The quotation you want to present must be comprehensive and must be written in clear english, free of ambiguity and easy to absorb. To write a presentable quotation, put your self in the shoes of the reader or whom you are presenting the quotations

When quoting a quotation for a business, you must know the exacts prices of all the goods that you listed and the terms and conditions for the business must be clearly spelt out to avoid future disagreement.

This is a good information. As a contractor, quotation is very important. The contract owners try as much as possible to compare bids and counter bids with the quotations of each bidders. However it’s good to give room for negotiation in your valuation and you must also make you make profit.

One thing that you have noticed with most contractors these days is that they will bring a quotation to a business that is not up-to-date in terms of their prices and told their for the end up losing when they actually goes to the market to purchase this items so it is very important that they should ensure that their quotation prices are up-to-date with market prices.
