Do your quote exclusions survive the subcontract? Often not (Screwed Down, Chapter 11)

Every quote you send goes into a spreadsheet you never see. Chapter 11 of Screwed Down walks through the builder's tender room: how quotes are levelled line by line, why the cheapest gets a call asking if everything is included, and why that call is where exclusions get traded away. Then the subcontract arrives with a scope written before your quote existed and an entire-agreement clause that can erase your exclusions. The fix is to make your dated quote a contract document that ranks above the scope before you sign.
