Independent building quote reviews
Something about the quote made you stop.
Maybe it’s the price. Maybe something isn’t clear. Maybe you’re wondering what’s missing. Or maybe you’re the one preparing the quote — and you want to make sure you’ve covered the job before you send it.
TestQuote gives you another experienced set of eyes before the next decision.
Start with what made you pause
What brought you here?
You don’t need to know the right question yet. Start with the side of the quote you’re on.
For homeowners
I've received a quote.
“Is the price reasonable?”
“Is anything missing?”
“What am I actually agreeing to?”
“I just want a second set of eyes.”
For trades
I'm preparing a quote.
“Have I allowed enough?”
“Have I forgotten anything?”
“Are my exclusions clear?”
“I just want another set of eyes before I send it.”
Whatever made you pause, that’s where we start.
One quote. Two sides of the table.
A quote needs to work for both.
The person receiving it needs to understand what they’re agreeing to. The person preparing it needs to know the price and scope reflect the work they actually intend to deliver.
TestQuote sits in between — bringing another experienced set of eyes before either side makes the next decision.
How TestQuote works
Simple in. Useful out.
1. Upload your quote
Send the quote and tell us what made you pause.
2. We review it
We look at the scope, price context, responsibilities, assumptions and grey areas worth checking.
3. Get a clear report
Plain-English findings, practical questions and the areas we’d address first.
4. Take the next step
Use the review to understand the quote you received — or strengthen the one you’re about to send.
What another set of eyes can uncover
Sometimes the grey area is hiding in one line.
The quote says
“Plaster repairs included.”
Clear enough at first glance. But does that mean every plaster repair that becomes visible once the work starts — or only the repair extent the contractor expected and priced?
Questions worth clarifying
Get both sides on the same page.
What repair extent has been allowed for?
What finish is included?
What happens if additional repairs are exposed?
How will extra work be discussed and approved?
Neither side has to be wrong for a misunderstanding to become expensive. TestQuote helps surface the questions worth asking before that happens.
See what you’re actually buying.
A clear report. A clearer next step.

Built from real construction experience.
I’m Dan, a registered builder. After years working in construction and insurance repairs, I kept seeing the same problem from both sides.
Homeowners weren’t always sure what they’d agreed to. Trades weren’t always able to make every allowance, assumption or intention obvious in the quote. TestQuote came from a simple idea: what if both sides had another experienced set of eyes before the work started?
