Make An Estimate Sheet

An estimate sheet lists the details of the job to be performed.


An estimate sheet is used in many types of service-related businesses such as car repair shops, home construction, and repair and moving companies. An estimate sheet provides the details and cost of the proposed work to be done. It allows the company to accurately account for and provide an estimated cost of the proposed work to be done. Customers are typically required to sign an estimate sheet in approval before work is performed.


Instructions


1. Download a template from Microsoft's website to begin designing your estimate sheet. Templates are available that are specific to service-related estimates, sales estimates and repair estimates.


2. Customize the template with your company's name, logo, address and contact information. Templates can easily be modified after they are downloaded into Microsoft Word or Excel. Click on the information that you need to modify and replace it with your own information. You estimate sheet should also include space for the customer's name, address and contact information.


3. Add sections or lines to the estimate sheet that are specific for your business. You may add descriptions of parts, labor and material that suits your specific business. For example, if you are creating an estimate sheet for car repairs, include a section for the auto parts needed and estimated labor hours needed for installation. Include a section on the form to list the details of the proposed work. Also include a column in the form to list pricing for the services being estimated.


4. Add a line for your customer's signature. Require your customer to approve of your estimate before beginning work.
