Re: Can an estimate constitute a contract
almost cetainly not. in order for there to be a contract all of the following must be present
(a) an offer;( which may include an estimate)
(b) an acceptance; and
(c) consideration (usually in the form of money) payable from the party to whom something is promised
and all these three elements need to be relatively clear
