Understand what a building quote appears to include, what may be unclear or missing, and what questions may be worth asking before you proceed.
Current pricing
From $115.00

We’ll check whether the quote clearly explains the work to be carried out, the extent of the work, and any assumptions that affect the scope.
We’ll help you understand what the quote says is included in the price, such as labour, materials, fixtures, subcontract work and site costs.
We’ll highlight work, materials, services or costs that are excluded and may need to be arranged or paid for separately.
We’ll point out provisional sums, prime cost items, estimated quantities or other allowances that may change.
We’ll look for work or information that appears important to the project but is not clearly covered in the supplied quote or scope.
We’ll flag vague wording, unclear responsibilities, missing detail or assumptions worth confirming before you proceed.
If you provide more than one quote or supporting document, we’ll highlight important differences in scope, pricing and what each document appears to cover.
