Estimate. Quote. Agreement. The letter a principal would send.
The house is open
From the bench to the board
The work
From a practice of one to a company that estimates every week. Same letter.
Counsel, a kitchen, a reroof, a lookbook — they all have to say the job back, hold a number, and take a name. Signet is that page. 14 days when you start. No card.
Interiors
Rooms, not mood boards.
The millwork is priced before it is ordered. They can see the room on a page they keep.
Jewelry
A commission sits better on paper.
Stone, hours, a date they can hold. The number is part of the piece.
Counsel
The hour is the work.
Intake, retainer, the way you take payment — said once, so the first session can be the work.
Culinary
A supper is a job of work.
Menu, staff, the room. They should know what they are walking into before the first course.
Grounds
Trees, stone, a season of keeping.
What lives in the ground does not like surprises. The page says the season out loud.
Electrical
A panel is not a guess.
You walked it. The estimate says so — circuits, the old work, what you will not touch.
