Terms and validity

Client response
Give the client one place to review the quote and accept or decline the version you sent.

Construction quote FAQ
Questions builders ask
Can Build MAIT create construction quotes?
Yes. Build MAIT creates professional quotes with company details, scope items, quantities, pricing, GST, validity and terms.
Can I show allowances and exclusions?
Yes. Quote lines can be fixed price, PC sum, allowance, included, by others or excluded so a blank amount is never left ambiguous.
Can the client accept the quote online?
Yes. The sent quote gives the client a clear review page where they can accept or decline the version they received.
Does accepting a quote change it later?
The accepted scope is kept as the agreed baseline. Later changes should be recorded separately as variations rather than silently rewriting the accepted work.
Can Build MAIT follow up an unanswered quote?
Yes. Optional quote follow-ups can send a first reminder after your chosen delay and a final reminder seven days later. They stop on acceptance, decline or expiry.
Is the sample quote real customer data?
No. The downloadable example uses synthetic names, addresses, contact details and pricing purely to demonstrate the product format.
