How detailed should my quote be?

Hi, thanks again for replies. I haven't had any large building works done before so was unsure what to expect from a quote. You are quite right, I don't need to know the exact cost of every item, it just seems odd to be handing over (eventually) tens of thousands of pounds without knowing a breakdown of costs but if that's the norm, I'm happy to accept it just wanted to double check. Thanks all :T

If you're worried about how trustworthy the quote is, ask him for some numbers of previous clients and give them a grillling. I think you'd learn more about him that way.

You can ask them about price, the payment schedule, if he worked to the timescale he'd promised and the eventual quality of the work.

Please do that. It's worth it.

And a price comparison to other builders!
