1) Compare written scope, not just price
A good quote should explain:
- What is included
- What is excluded
- Any assumptions or allowances
- Who is supplying key items
2) Ask about sequencing and disruption
For live-in projects, ask:
- How will access be managed?
- How will dust/noise be controlled?
- What are the key milestones?
3) Check timelines are realistic
Fast isn’t always better. A realistic timeline usually accounts for:
- Lead times (windows/doors, kitchens)
- Inspections and sign-offs
- Weather for external works
4) Agree snagging and handover
Make sure there’s a clear handover and snagging plan.
