It always amazes me when people want a break down of the costs. If you’re happy with the price, what does it matter what the breakdown is.

The sad part is, if old mate had just said, I want to have a crack myself, would you please just do a measure and plan for me to follow, guess what, there'd have no issue or bad blood

i worked for a aluminium window company for a while, the salesman did the measurements "es his wife worked in the office doing all the invoices and computer work. the owners of the business are real assholes they sacked the wife for no reason so every qoute he did for 3 weeks was wrong colour, styles ,size then he quit . multiple times we went to install and they were completely wrong . would of cost many thousands of dollars.

People think it’s ok to fuck us trades around with visiting site , pricing up , which sometimes can take hours, to not get the job time is valuable 👍

We did the same. 😂 When sending the price we wrote 5cm wrong on all messures. 🤣 Then when we got the jobs we fixed the messures before ordering doors and windows

Even better approach is to interview your potential customer to work out how many quotes they are getting etc. More than 2 and they use words like budget and I’m out
