Items a complete quote must include

  • Removal of existing work

    Without priced removal, costs often rise at start.

  • Plumbing and drain adjustments

    Needed if the sink or dishwasher moves.

  • Electrical connection

    Often subcontracted and missing from the main quote.

  • Appliances listed (brand, model)

    Without models, quotes cannot be compared.

  • Worktop (material, cut-outs)

    Cut-outs and edges are often extra.

  • Delivery and installation

    Some quotes only cover the furniture.

  • Waste disposal and landfill fees

    Skips and fees can exceed CHF 1,000.

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 “Removal of existing work” included in the price?
  2. Is “Plumbing and drain adjustments” included in the price?
  3. Is “Electrical connection” included in the price?
  4. Could you break down the lump sums (quantities, unit prices, materials)?
  5. Which warranty applies (SIA 118, duration)?
