House builder quotes

Headings a house quote usually carries

A house quote usually names preliminaries, site works, foundation, structure, roof, envelope, windows, electrical, plumbing, heating, finishes, kitchen, bathroom and external work. If a heading is missing, ask the contractor what covers it. Do not treat the gap as a price decision.
