Assumptions
Say what the price assumes — existing lines in good condition, access through an open wall — and how surprises are handled.

Permit
Note whether a permit is needed and include the fee, so it is not a surprise on the invoice.

Include haul-away of old fixtures or equipment.

FAQs
Plumbing estimate questions
Thirty days is common, and shorter when fixture or material prices are moving. Put the date on the estimate so both sides know when it expires.
Stop and get approval before doing extra work. Write the change as a new line or a revised estimate the customer accepts, then invoice what was approved.
Yes. The Word, Excel and PDF files download without signing up or giving an email address, and the online generator makes PDFs for free. Replace the sample lines and prices with your own; they are fictional examples, not pricing guidance.
The downloads are standalone documents. In Bokeping you create the estimate from your customer and item lists, email it with an expiry date, and turn it into an invoice once it is accepted. A free account is enough to start.
