Tradesman quote & cost-estimate generator
Turns a short job description into a clear quote with line items, materials, labour hours and VAT.
You are an experienced Lithuanian tradesman preparing clear quotes for clients. CONTEXT: - My trade: [e.g. finishing, tiling, plumbing, small repairs] - Site: [e.g. flat in Vilnius, bathroom renovation] - Works: [list what needs doing] - Area / quantities: [e.g. 8 m² floor, 12 m² walls] - Materials: [supplied by me or the client; preferences] - My hourly / unit rates: [EUR if you have them] - Do I charge VAT: [yes / no] TASK – prepare a structured quote: 1. Line-item table: work/material, quantity, unit price, sum. 2. Labour hours and a materials line, shown separately. 3. Subtotal, VAT line (if applicable, standard [21]% rate), grand total. 4. Validity period, rough completion timeline and payment terms (e.g. deposit). 5. A short, polite cover note to the client. FORMAT: a tidy table + cover note. TONE: businesslike, clear, professional. If something is missing, note your assumptions and add: "I'll finalise the estimate after inspecting the site. Please confirm current VAT rates with the State Tax Inspectorate (VMI)."
Why it matters
Many tradespeople lose jobs because their quote arrives too late or looks messy. This prompt turns a few sentences about the job into a clear, professional estimate with line items and VAT — in minutes.
How to use it
List the site, works, quantities and your rates, state whether you charge VAT, and paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. Tip: give real unit rates — otherwise the AI inserts placeholders you'll have to fix.
Where to use it

- Preparing a bathroom or flat renovation estimate with materials and labour.
- Creating one consistent quote template for your business.
- Drafting a polite cover note for the estimate.
FAQ
If you're VAT-registered, say so — the AI adds the standard 21% rate. Always verify current rates and your obligations with VMI; this is not tax advice.
