Trade Quote Builder Skill

Most trade quotes lose money in the writing, not the doing: labor guessed optimistic, materials priced from memory, and — the killer — no exclusions line, so "while you're here, could you also…" becomes free work. A professional quote is two documents: the internal costing sheet (honest hours × real rate + materials + margin) and the customer's one-pager (clear scope, what's included, what isn't, how variations get priced). This skill builds both, and it prices the variation rule in advance — because the profitable jobs are the ones where "extra" was defined before it happened.
