Preparation guide
Example workflow
Confirm scope and quantities
Example: start with "Sectional or roller door made to size", confirm the required quantity and client inputs, then agree completion criteria for each item.
Review and approve the quotation
Confirm acceptance evidence for "Frame trims and weather seals", all line quantities, exclusions and quote validity with the customer, and retain the approved version.
Deliver and prepare billing
Confirm completed quantities, site photos, agreed test results and any remaining remedial work. When the agreed milestone is complete, prepare an invoice using actual quantities and approved changes.
Replacing a garage door looks simple until the measurements are taken: headroom above the opening, room at the sides and the depth of the garage decide which kind of door fits. A garage door quotation should therefore start from those dimensions and then name the door type, panel insulation, colour and opener. This template keeps the door, the motor, removal of the old door and the finishing trims on separate lines, so a client can compare a manual door with an electric one.
Fields to prepare
- Deliverables and line items
- Sectional or roller door made to size, Electric operator with two remotes, Removal of the old door, Frame trims and weather seals: specify the planned quantity and delivery scope for each item.
- Sectional or roller door made to size
- Record width and height, headroom, side room and depth; a sectional door needs ceiling space that a roller door does not.
- Electric operator with two remotes
- Name the motor, the number of remotes and its safety features, such as stopping and reversing on an obstacle.
- Removal of the old door
- Say how the old door is taken down and removed, including any springs under tension, which need care.
- Frame trims and weather seals
- Trims cover the gap between frame and wall, and seals at the bottom and sides keep out rain and leaves.
- Site and measured quantities
- Record the site, work zones, areas, lengths or counts, and access hours.
- Materials and work stages
- Specify materials, labor, removal, disposal and making-good allowances, and completion criteria for each stage.
- Scope to agree
- Give the opening’s width and height, the door type and insulation, and name the opener’s safety features, such as stopping and reversing on contact.
Before sending
- Does “Sectional or roller door made to size” say what is included and what quantity the price assumes?
- Would the customer read “Electric operator with two remotes” the way you do, including what it leaves out?
- Can you still honour the price of “Removal of the old door” on the last day the quotation is valid?

Frequently asked questions
Should I quote a power supply for the motor?
Look for a socket near the ceiling during the survey. If there is none, say that a new socket is needed, whether you fit it or the client’s electrician does, and price it separately.
How long does a made-to-measure door take?
Give the manufacturer’s lead time counted from the signed order, and confirm the fitting date when the door is ready. The old door stays in place until then, so the garage remains secure.
How is the sales tax worked out on this quotation?
The worked example above uses an example rate of 8%: $221.60 on a net amount of $2,770.00, for a total of $2,991.60. The editor recalculates all three when you change a quantity, a price or the country.

Yes. You can fill in this template and print it or save it as a PDF without an account, and there is no payment step and no watermark on the document. Saving it to your account and downloading Excel or Word files need a free account.
Can I change the layout and colour?
