Is a quote from a builder binding?
Once I have received a quote for building work, is it binding? Or do we both need to sign a contract for it to become binding?

Hi Richard, quotes are an indication of price and are not binding. A contract signed by both parties is binding.

A quotation is not legally binding, as it is only a quotation of cost for work to be undertaken, but a signed contract is unless any terms and conditions outlined have been violated.

It is law that the builder gives you a seven day cooling off period. Soon it will be a 14 day period. Hope this helps thanks.

A Quote is binding for the exact work stated, an estimate is not, do not add on anymore works however minor and the price is as quoted.
