A comment on You don't need Scrum. You just need to do Kanban right (2022). Parent comment
I don't ask contractors for a detailed breakdown, just the whole thing. And they either do a high padded fixed price or work per hour.
A friend who is an elictrician might do 100 similar rooms in a building and they have a detailed breakdown of "time per screw" more or less.
So I guess the accuracy depends on the sameness of tasks to do.
