When a professional coordinates several trades on one project (for example, a multi-service technician who subcontracts electrics or plumbing), the quote needs a different structure from a single-trade job.
Group by trade, don't mix items
The clearest way to present a multi-trade quote is to group the items by trade (bricklaying, electrics, plumbing, painting), each with its own subtotal, instead of mixing all the items in a single list with no grouping criterion.
Reflect coordination as added value
If the professional presenting the quote takes on coordination between trades (organising the order of entry, resolving coordination issues), that management work has value and should be reflected as its own item, not diluted invisibly within the rest of the price.
Differentiated timescales by phase
Each trade has its own execution time, and the project's total timescale is not the sum of them all but the result of how they overlap or follow one another in time. Showing an indicative schedule, even a simple one, helps the client understand why the project lasts as long as it does.
