When you’re writing a job estimate for a client, you need more than just a project description and how much the work will cost—you also need terms and conditions. Accurate terms and conditions will level the playing field and tell the customer what to expect during the project.

But what should your terms and conditions include? Michael Bedell from Bedell Property Management has the answer, based on his years of experience creating and winning estimates for his landscaping clients.

Here’s a sneak peek at what your business needs to put in your estimate terms and conditions:

When you expect the client to pay you (00:55)
Who’s paying for any state or federal taxes and when they’re due (01:32)
How you plan to complete your work and handle any problems (02:05)
How long the project will take and what to expect throughout (02:28)
How you’ll deal with any changes and what the client should expect in that situation (03:03)
Any additional language needed to clear up potential misunderstandings (03:44)
