What this comparison can—and cannot—tell you
The tool organises the information you enter. It can show where one quotation includes an item and another does not, or where an important detail is unclear. It does not verify the figures, assess workmanship, recommend a business or replace legal, technical or financial advice.
For Portugal property work, compare the same written scope and finish across every quotation. Confirm whether IVA, delivery, waste removal and any necessary technical or professional input are included.
Before accepting a trade quotation
- Give each suitable business the same written description, drawings and finish requirements.
- Check that the legal business name, contact details and payment recipient are consistent.
- Ask for exclusions and assumptions to be written down, not agreed only in conversation.
- Clarify how variations will be priced and approved before additional work begins.
- Agree sensible payment stages tied to documented progress.
- For regulated, structural or specialist work, confirm the current professional and approval requirements for the project.
Frequently asked questions
Does this tool recommend a tradesperson?
No. It organises the details entered and highlights differences or unanswered questions. It cannot assess workmanship, availability, suitability or trustworthiness.
Are my quotation details stored?
No. The comparison runs in your browser. Your quotation figures, business names and project notes are not submitted to TrustedTradesPortugal.
Should I automatically choose the cheapest quotation?
No. A lower total may exclude materials, waste removal, IVA, warranties or parts of the scope. Compare like with like and ask each business to clarify missing information in writing.
