Why this checks completeness and not price
Nobody has the data to tell you what your work is worth. Anyone who says otherwise is guessing at your overheads, your market and your day. What can be checked, without knowing anything about your business, is whether the quote answers the questions a customer will ask later.
That is the part that costs money. A price that was fine becomes a fight because the quote never said the old floor was somebody else's problem, or never put a date on how long it stood, or never explained what happens when the wall comes off and there is rot behind it.
The fourteen things
Your business name and ABN. Whether GST is in the total. Itemised lines instead of one number. Quantities against those lines. What the price assumes. What it excludes. How extra work gets priced. The deposit. Payment terms. How long the quote stands. When the work would happen. How to accept it. Your phone and email. And a real description of the work itself.
None of it is exotic. All of it is the sort of thing that gets left off a quote written at nine at night between two jobs.
Where these came from
The same place the quoting guide and the trade quote templates get them: what actually goes wrong on jobs. Each of the twelve job recipes carries its own "what to put on a quote" list for that trade, and the checks here are the things common to all of them.
FAQ
Does this tell me if my price is right?
No, and it never will. It does not look at the amount at all. What you charge is your business, and nobody else has the data to second-guess it.
What happens to the quote I paste in?
Nothing. It is not sent anywhere and not saved — it is all worked out in your own browser, and closing the tab is the end of it. That matters here, because a real quote has a customer's name and address on it.
Is there a score out of ten?
No. A score implies a measured standard and there is not one. You get what is on your quote, and what is worth adding, with the words to add.
Can it miss something?
Yes. It looks for the words that usually mean each thing, so a clause you worded differently can read as missing. Treat it as a prompt, not a verdict.
Fix it once and stop retyping it
Most of these are the same on every quote you send. Yamate keeps your standard exclusions, assumptions and terms so they are already on the page — then turns the accepted quote into the invoice without you retyping it.
