Or just grab the blank version — no builder, no form:
What is in it
- Header block for your business name, licence number and contact details
- Customer and job-site address, kept separate — they are not always the same place
- Itemised scope with quantity, unit and unit price
- Good / better / best option columns, priced independently
- Exclusions section — the half that prevents the argument
- Validity period, so a price does not follow you into next season
- Acceptance line with a date
- Pre-filled drainage & foundation line items: French drain — excavation and pipe (per linear foot), Catch basin, set and tied in (per each), Downspout tie-in to solid pipe (per each), Sump pump with check valve (per each), Regrade and sod restoration (per square foot)
About the free builder
Is the estimate builder actually free?
Yes. There is no account, no email and no payment to generate and download the PDF — Relayhand never sees what you type.
Is anything I type saved or sent anywhere?
No. Everything stays in your browser and nothing is uploaded, saved or emailed unless you separately sign up for Relayhand.
Can I send this estimate to my customer for a signature?
Not from this free tool directly — it only produces a PDF. A free Relayhand account can send the same estimate for e-signature and collect a deposit on the spot.
Why a drainage contractor needs their own version
Water moved away from a house that is currently taking it on.
- The scope changes the moment you open the ground, and the change order is a text message nobody can find in March.
- Quotes are three options at three prices off one footage measurement, and rebuilding that arithmetic by hand for every house is how the wrong number gets sent.
- Half the job is invisible once it is backfilled, so the photographs are the only evidence the work was done as specified.
Priced the way you price
A generic template makes you type the unit every time. This one already knows a drainage contractor quotes in these:
This is a starting point, not legal advice. Contract law is a state matter and the terms that hold up in Tennessee are not the terms that hold up in California. Have a lawyer in your state read yours before you send it to a customer — once, and then it is done.
The rest of the paperwork
Or stop filling in templates
Relayhand builds the estimate from the job, sends it, gets it signed on the customer’s phone and takes the deposit. Same document, none of the retyping.
