What a quote should show in Australia

  • Your business name, ABN and contact details, and the customer's name and contact details. business.gov.au
  • A clear description of the work, with each cost on its own line and the total, including GST if you charge it. business.gov.au
  • Payment terms and your preferred payment method, the start and finish dates, and space for the customer to sign and date. business.gov.au

  • Quotes and estimates should include GST, and if you charge for quoting, say so before you quote. comcom.govt.nz
  • If you quote a specific product, supply that product or get the customer's agreement before swapping it. comcom.govt.nz

When the job is building work

For residential building work, a quote may not be enough above a set price. Check whether your job counts as building work where you are.

  • Queensland: a domestic building contract over $3,300 must be in writing, dated and signed by everyone, or it may not be enforceable. qbcc.qld.gov.au
  • New South Wales: residential building work over $5,000 including GST needs a written contract, and you give the homeowner the Consumer Building Guide. nsw.gov.au
  • Victoria: domestic building work over $10,000 needs a written major domestic building contract, with GST included in the price. consumer.vic.gov.au
  • New Zealand: residential building work of $30,000 or more including GST needs a disclosure statement, a consumer protection checklist and a written contract. business.govt.nz

Tips for landscaping quotes

  • Give plant sizes, because a 140 mm pot and a 45 litre bag are very different prices.
  • Say who's watering the plants after you leave.

Questions about landscaping quotes

What should a landscaping quote include?

Each part of the job on its own line: site clearing and preparation, excavation and levelling, soil, mulch and turf, plants, paving or retaining walls, irrigation, labour, machinery hire, green waste removal. Then your business name, ABN and contact details, the customer's details, the total with GST if you charge it, payment terms and an expiry date. Source: business.gov.au, business.qld.gov.au.

How do I make a landscaping quote easy to say yes to?

Give plant sizes, because a 140 mm pot and a 45 litre bag are very different prices. Say who's watering the plants after you leave. Then follow it up 7 to 14 days after you send it. Source: business.qld.gov.au.

Do landscapers need a licence?

Above a set job value, yes. In New South Wales you need a contractor licence to do or contract for residential work worth more than $5,000 in labour and materials, including GST, and structural landscaping is a licensed category. In Queensland you need a QBCC licence for building work valued over $3,300, and structural landscaping is a licence class. Source: nsw.gov.au, qbcc.qld.gov.au, qbcc.qld.gov.au.
