Separate internal and client views
Internal working needs commercial detail. The client pack needs clarity, scope and confidence.
What to include
Include project summary, package breakdown, assumptions, exclusions, allowances and next steps.
Make uncertainty visible
Clients do not need every internal calculation, but they do need to understand what remains uncertain.
Control the version
Give the issued pack a date and revision, and retain the internal review it came from. If scope changes during negotiation, issue a new revision rather than editing the accepted basis informally.
Run a presentation check
Read the pack as a client would. Package names should be clear, allowances should say what they cover, exclusions should be prominent and the acceptance route should point to one unambiguous total.
Review checklist
- Show the project, date and revision
- Use plain package descriptions
- Keep assumptions, allowances and exclusions visible
- State validity, tax basis and next step
FAQs
What is a quote pack?
A structured set of documents explaining the price, included scope, assumptions, exclusions and next steps.
Should a client quote show internal margin?
Usually no. Keep internal commercial working separate from the client-facing summary.
