Contractor Brief and Quote Comparison
Brief tradespeople clearly.
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).
Create a brief and a comparison method for hiring a tradesperson. The job: [JOB]. Property details: [PROPERTY]. Timing: [TIMING]. Budget: [BUDGET]. Write a one-page brief with scope, materials, standards, access, timeline, payment terms I propose, and the information I want in the quote. Provide a list of questions to ask (licence and insurance to verify [VERIFY] in [JURISDICTION], references, warranty, who does the work, how changes are handled). Build a comparison table for three quotes on scope, price, timeline, warranty, and exclusions, and a method to make quotes like for like. Include red flags and a recommendation to use a written contract and to avoid large upfront payments. Add a short email template to send the brief to three contractors and a script for a site visit with questions to ask. Include a quick check of insurance and licences with a reminder to verify with the issuing body, and a rule for asking for the same quote format so that comparison is fair. Do not assume building codes or permit rules. Use [JURISDICTION], mark each rule [VERIFY], and tell me when to hire a qualified tradesperson.
