Items a complete quote must include

  • Post foundations

    Determines durability.

  • Gate and hardware

    Rarely in the per-metre price.

  • Removal of existing work

    Without priced removal, costs often rise at start.

  • Permit procedures

    Who files the application, and at what cost?

Common pitfalls

  • A deposit above 30% before work starts.
  • Lump sums without quantities or unit prices.
  • No brand or model for equipment.
  • No mention of VAT, validity or timeline.
  • Disposal, scaffolding or connections missing.
  • A price far below other quotes, unexplained.

Questions to ask the contractor

  1. Is “Post foundations” included in the price?
  2. Is “Gate and hardware” included in the price?
  3. Is “Removal of existing work” included in the price?
  4. Could you break down the lump sums (quantities, unit prices, materials)?
  5. Which warranty applies (SIA 118, duration)?
