What's in a good Home Building quote?

A good quote spells out how the job is priced and what's covered — labour, materials, prep and clean-up — so you're comparing like for like. Check what each builder's quote covers before you choose.

Worth knowing: getting two or three quotes is the simplest way to land a fair price — and it costs you nothing.
