Removing single window and replacing with French doors

Options
I've got a set of French patio doors I want to put at the back of our garage to replace a window. Window is 122cm wide by 110cm, need to cut out some brickwork as doors are 140cm wide by 210cm. The garage is single skin brickwork and I'll need to install a concrete lintel.

So far I've been quoted £300 for the job to be completed. Need the works done by 3rd September and awaiting in quotes from two other builders. Do people think this quote of £300 sounds fair enough, if so I may go with them as time is running out.

Please let me know your thoughts people.

    My builder who quoted us for french door said lintel with labour will be £300. Hope that helps.

    I'm getting a similar job done but for my house, double brick and larger area and it is £460, so £300 sounds about right to me
