I am new to database design and in some ways may not even have any business making databases, but I am giving it a go and have a potential client who wants an estimate for a job.

Is there a format/template that anyone could recommend for making a quote or estimate for a job. The bottom line will probably be around $25K, so its not a small job and I want to make a thorough estimate.

Briefly, the job is a language school in Europe that needs a database to track its student body data, from application and matriculation, to tuition payment, housing details and finally to departure.

Any advice is much appreciated.
