STAG BUILDERS OF HERTFORDSHIRE LIMITED
Our Quotation Charges
Builders invest many hours of their time preparing detailed quotations for new projects, often visiting sites, meeting clients and engaging with subcontractors and suppliers.
However, these efforts are not always rewarded, with companies later discovering that potential clients were just looking for a cost comparison or were never serious about getting the job built in the first place.
For this reason our estimates will always remain free of charge, as estimates are just a knowledgable guide with no written detail and a rough guide price over the phone, or emailed.
Knowing the difference between a quotation and estimate, and using the right one at the right time, can protect you from a costly problems in the middle of a build or works.
Why quotations cost...
After getting a rough estimate, and finding that our guide price is within your projects budget. You can then decide if you wish to proceed further by using our quantity surveyors skills, and knowledge, to obtain your welcome pack that contains our insurances, accreditations, and a legal binding fixed price quotation with terms of contract.
This is covered in the quotation fee which is supplied at the time of your estimate. We usually take your quotation fee when booking a quantity surveyor in for your first detailed site visit. The site visit takes approximately one to two hours, due to the detailed infomation required, and this will include mesuments and some photos of the site.
Quotations can take up to 14 working days to produce, due to the in-depth amount of work involved to get the price right, and several site visits depending on the complexity of the job. This gaurantees our customers no finacial suprises along the way.
After you have recieve your fixed price quotation. Should you choose to use Stag Builders of Hertfordshire Limited, to undertake your project/works, this quotation fee amount will be deducted from the cost on your final invoice.
