Is an Online Estimate Legally Valid?
An estimate is a good-faith approximation of costs and is generally not a legally binding contract. Its purpose is to provide your client with a clear idea of the potential expense for budgeting and approval. The final cost may vary if the project scope changes. For a legally binding fixed price, you should use our Free Quotation Generator. This flexibility is a key difference between a project estimate vs an invoice or quote.
