Run your quote past us — we'll flag the holes before the client finds them.

Sound familiar?

• “You quoted a price and the client 'assumed' a pile of extras were included.”
• “An argument over GST wiped out your margin.”
• “You did extra work on a nod and never got paid for it.”

What this tool does

Runs your quote through a checklist of the most common causes of quote disputes on Australian jobs — missing scope, unclear payment terms, missing exclusions, no variation clause, no GST position, no T&Cs. Produces a flag list of what to fix.

What the law actually says

• •Above a state threshold, residential building work needs a written contract with specific terms (deposit caps, progress payments, cooling-off where it applies) — a quote alone often isn't enough.
• •Be clear on GST and on variations in writing: most paid-work disputes trace back to a vague scope or an unsigned extra.
• •Guidance only, not legal advice.
