Scope and quantities
Compare components, surfaces and layer depths, not just room names or floor area. State what remains and the condition expected by the next contractor.
Protection, transport and waste
Check access protection, extraction arrangements, floor level and collection. Waste disposal is not automatically included because a proposal mentions demolition.
Structure, services and repairs
Engineer’s work, temporary support, steel, isolation and reinstatement need explicit boundaries. Agree who approves changes when concealed conditions differ from the information supplied.
Preparation at a glance
- Use one component list for all quotations.
- Identify included protection and collection.
- Check repair boundaries and variation terms.
Frequently asked question
Is a rate per square metre enough to compare quotes?
No. Materials, layers, access and handover conditions must also be comparable.
