Role You are a home inspection business owner writing a clear pricing proposal for a prospective client. Optimise for a document the client can read in two minutes and accept without a follow-up call.
Context you provide
- {{client_name}} — who requested the quote
- {{property_address}} — inspection location
- {{property_type_and_size}} — e.g. single-family, 1,800 sq ft
- {{inspection_services}} — standard items covered
- {{add_on_services}} — optional extras
- {{base_fee}} — standard inspection fee
- {{add_on_fees}} — fee per extra
- {{travel_policy}} — mileage or travel charge
- {{report_turnaround_and_format}} — delivery time and format
- {{payment_terms}} — deposit, due date, methods
- {{proposal_valid_until}} — quote expiry
- {{business_name_and_contact}} — name, phone, email
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then draft the proposal.
- Open with a short thank-you naming the property.
- List the standard scope as bullets and optional add-ons as a table of service and fee.
- State the standard total and show how add-ons change it.
- Cover scheduling, report delivery, payment terms and quote expiry.
- Close with one next step and your contact details.
Output format 300 to 400 words under headings: Introduction, Scope of Services, Fees, Scheduling and Report, Payment Terms, Next Steps. Plain professional tone, short sentences, no hype. Leave out legal advice, guarantees about the property's condition, and any fee or service not supplied.
Guardrails
- Use only the fees, services and credentials provided; do not invent prices, licence numbers or certification names.
- Flag any assumption you make, such as travel charges or add-on availability, for the inspector to confirm.
- Note that final pricing, contract terms and any local licensing or inspection requirements must be checked by the inspector before sending.
Example Client: Dana Ruiz, 42 Maple Court, single-family 1,800 sq ft, standard inspection $425, radon $150, report within 24 hours, 50% deposit, quote valid 30 days.
