The RHF Contractor Quoting tool was created to provide a standardised method of quoting for Industry Builders participating in the Resilient Homes Fund (RHF). It will streamline the funding application process by allowing the RHF to easily identify the resilience strategies associated with each piece of quoted work, calculate total eligible and non-eligible costs and determine whether the work is value for money.

While the use of our quote tool is optional, we highly recommend it as it provides the necessary level of detail for us to accurately assess the value for money and may expedite processing times. If you prefer to use your own quote tools, we kindly request that you incorporate this level of detail to ensure accurate assessments and efficient processing.

The tool has been locked to prevent accidental changes to formulas or the structure of the tool. You can unlock the tool to see the formulas and the cells they reference by clicking Review > Unprotect Sheet in the ribbon/banner at the top of the worksheet.

The following guide is intended for use by the head contractor to help them navigate the tool. The most effective way to use the guide is to have the quoting tool open and to navigate through the different tabs with the guide. Ideally, the quoting process will not deviate significantly from standard practice, but listing items in this standardised way will allow builders to get approval and receive funding sooner.
