Compare quotes on the same basis.
Added October 15, 2026. Written with AI assistance and checked for clarity and placeholders; not reviewed by a lawyer, accountant, clinician or other professional. How these prompts are made
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it (what [VERIFY] means).
Compare contractor quotes. Three quotes with scope, price, timeline, payment terms and exclusions: [QUOTES]. My own scope list: [MY_SCOPE]. Questions I asked and answers received: [Q_AND_A]. Line up each quote against my scope, mark what is included, excluded or unclear, compare payment schedules and warranties, and show the total on a like-for-like basis. Flag quotes that are unusually low or vague. Return a comparison table with Item, Quote A, Quote B, Quote C and Note, a list of questions to ask each contractor, and what to confirm in writing. Contract and licensing matters are [VERIFY] for [JURISDICTION]. Also suggest asking each contractor for references and photos of similar work, confirming licences and insurance with the issuing bodies, and agreeing a change order process in writing. Add a payment schedule linked to progress and a warning about large upfront payments. Then build a decision file and a conversation plan for each contractor. List the questions to ask every contractor about scope, start date, duration, who will do the work, what happens if costs rise, how changes are agreed, protection of the property, clearing up and warranty. Produce a reference check script of eight questions for past customers and a list of documents to request, such as licences, insurance and examples of similar work, to be confirmed with the issuing bodies [VERIFY]. Create a scoring sheet with weights that I set for price, quality evidence, communication, timeline and trust, and show how to total it. Include a payment schedule that matches progress and a warning about large advance payments. Add a short template for confirming the chosen contractor's scope in writing before work starts, to be reviewed by a professional if the job is large. I am not a tradesperson. Flag any step involving ladders, power tools, asbestos, wiring or plumbing under pressure, and tell me when to stop and hire a qualified person.
