Free welder & metal fabricator quote template

A professional quote template for welders and metal fabricators. Itemise material costs, workshop vs on-site labour — download a branded PDF in under a minute.

On-site welding and workshop fabrication are different jobs with different cost structures. A mobile callout means transporting equipment and working around a site's constraints. Workshop fabrication benefits from proper tools and a controlled environment. State which one applies, since a customer comparing a workshop quote against a mobile one is not comparing equivalent work.

Steel and aluminium prices move, sometimes significantly within weeks. A quote that's silent on this can leave you underquoting a job that gets delayed, or defending a price increase to a customer who thought the number was fixed. A line in the notes, such as "material priced as of [date], subject to change if the order isn't placed within [X] days," is standard practice and avoids both problems.

A one-off bespoke piece and a repeat run of the same item have very different cost structures. Bespoke work carries design and setup time that a repeat run doesn't need to pay for twice. If a customer is ordering multiples, price the first unit and subsequent units separately, since the per-unit cost genuinely drops once the design work is done.

On-site welding in an occupied building carries real fire-safety obligations, whether that's a hot-works permit or at minimum a documented fire-watch procedure, particularly near flammable materials. Note this on the quote where it applies. It's a genuine safety and liability matter, not extra paperwork for its own sake.

Frequently asked questions

Mobile callouts involve transporting equipment and working around site constraints, while workshop fabrication uses proper tools in a controlled environment — genuinely different cost structures.

Steel and aluminium prices move, sometimes within weeks. A note stating the price is valid for a limited period protects both sides from a stale material cost.

Often yes — bespoke design and setup time is a one-off cost, so repeat units of the same design typically cost less per unit than the first.
