- Each item described, quantities and VAT includedline by line
- The inspections listed: electricity, gas, heating, sewersin the quote
- The contract
- A reasonable deposit30% at most

How do you choose between several contractors?
Have several contractors price the same description, compare item by item, and choose: the architect advises, you decide.
- One description for everyone: the specifications and the bill of quantities.
- A short list of contractors who do this type of work, with references.
- Timescales, deposit and penalties stated from the tender stage.
- A much lower price often hides a forgotten item.
A deposit, how much?
30 %at mostUp to 30% is considered acceptable. Do not exceed 40%.
During the works, what was agreed at the tender stage is the reference: a request for extras is first checked against the tender documents.
