When to quote?

Hi.

Our development team has been offered a project that's far bigger than
anything we've done previously.

The client wants time estimates and quotes, but has only provided a
fairly brief outline of requirements. My question is: how do we address
this? Should we make a best guess? Quote for the development of a
function spec, then quote on the project once it's been completed?

Thanks.
