Contractor Brief Writer for a Home Repair or Improvement Quote
Write a clear brief so quotes are comparable.
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).
Write a brief to send to contractors for quotes. The work wanted: [WORK_DESCRIPTION]. The home details (age, type, access): [HOME_DETAILS]. Photos and measurements I can supply: [PHOTOS_AND_MEASUREMENTS]. Timing and flexibility: [TIMING]. Budget range I am willing to share: [BUDGET_RANGE]. Structure the brief with scope of work in numbered items, what is excluded, materials (who supplies, any preferences), site conditions (parking, working hours, pets, neighbours), required insurance and licences to confirm [VERIFY], how to quote (itemised labour and materials, timeline, payment schedule, warranty), site visit availability, and the date quotes are due. Provide a comparison table to score quotes on price, completeness, timeline, references and communication, and ten questions to ask each contractor. Add notes on paying deposits, written change orders and keeping records. Do not suggest I accept the lowest quote by default; explain how to read gaps between quotes. Include a short sample brief for a bathroom repaint and tile repair so I can see the level of detail wanted, and a list of red flags in quotes: no itemisation, a large cash deposit, vague scope words like 'make good', no stated start date, and unwillingness to provide references or proof of insurance, each with the question I should ask.
