Common questions
How much contingency should I add?
10–20% is common; older houses often need the higher end because problems appear once walls and floors are opened.
Should I get several quotes?
Yes — at least three for larger jobs, compared on the same scope of work.
Is there a printable version?
Yes — download the printable PDF next to the Excel button. It has the same layout, left empty so you can fill it in by hand.
