Define the scope

Construction quotes are comparable only when they cover the same drawings, quantities and specifications. Identify whether you need a complete build, renovation or a specific package of work. The written scope should explain materials, exclusions, supervision and how additional work will be approved.

What to compare between providers

  • Ask about comparable completed projects and the team responsible for delivery.
  • Compare material specifications, site management and payment milestones.
  • Clarify responsibility for approvals, waste removal, inspections and defects.

Prepare a useful request for a quote

  • Provide the location, drawings and a schedule of required work.
  • Identify occupied areas, access limitations and completion constraints.
  • Request an itemised quote and a written process for variations.
