Our quotes for construction are determined from the information on the technical drawings. We always encourage clients to be as specific as possible, with regard to their preferred materials, finishings and fixtures. This allows us to be as precise as possible and avoids ‘surprises’ later down the line. We believe in fairness and clarity for all clients when setting prices.

When getting quotes from other builders/architects, we encourage clients to bear in mind that the ‘playing field’ is not always level. To keep their quotes down, builders sometimes price only what is shown on the drawings (as opposed to areas definitely required, but not indicated). Where items are non-specific, the builder can keep his quote low by using inexpensive materials (which usually isn’t in your best interest).

This is why we promote clarity and detailed precision in our technical drawings. This minimizes extra hidden costs and potential disputes during construction.
