Give everyone the same brief
Create one description of the rooms, surfaces and preferred finish. Share the same photographs and identify any work you intend to do yourself. Number your questions so you can find the answers later. This is a practical way to keep the comparison organised.
Check what is included
ACM ConsuWijzer advises comparing quotes and agreements carefully. Check the work, materials, total price and additional costs. Ask for missing agreements to be added. Also ask how changes during the work will be discussed and recorded.
Discuss the practical arrangements
Price is only one part of the decision. How will access, working hours and the use of the room be arranged? Where will materials be stored? Make a short list of unresolved questions and keep the answers with the quote. Decide when you understand what you are agreeing to.
Take this into your project
- Compare the same work and finish.
- Highlight unclear or missing items.
- Keep the final agreements together.
