Frequently asked questions
Yes — 5-15% depending on project complexity. List it as its own line. This signals to the customer that you're planning realistically, and protects you when surprises happen.
Note in the estimate: "Any changes to scope will be billed separately and require written approval before work proceeds." This sets clear expectations from day one.
For projects with hidden variables (structural, ground conditions), use an estimate. For fixed-scope work like a deck or a single-room job, a quote is more confident and easier to compare.
