DWELL on the Details

Assessing quotations from potential building contractors to see which is most competitive isn’t going to be worthwhile if you aren’t comparing like with like. How to ensure you can? Let suppliers know how you want their quotation set out. For your part, you’re going to need to tell them about the materials, fixtures and fittings, and let them have plans and construction drawings. Once you’ve looked line by line, don’t be afraid to negotiate if your preferred firm is more costly in a particular aspect of the job.
