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 “Excavation and base” included in the price?
  2. Is “Drainage and fall” included in the price?
  3. Is “Edges and finishing” included in the price?
  4. Could you break down the lump sums (quantities, unit prices, materials)?
  5. Which warranty applies (SIA 118, duration)?
