Two quotations can cover very different work. An itemised quotation helps you see the quantities, materials, exclusions and decisions behind the total.
A low headline figure is difficult to evaluate when the scope, quantities, specifications and exclusions are unclear. Breaking the work into recognisable items helps you compare priorities and understand whether different quotations are actually covering the same work.
Depending on the agreed project, an itemised quotation may include:
Preliminaries, protection and site arrangements
Demolition, hacking and disposal
Masonry, waterproofing and tiling
Carpentry by location or installation
Electrical and lighting works
Plumbing and sanitary works
Ceilings and painting
Flooring, doors, glass and aluminium works
Fixtures, fittings or stated allowances
Project coordination where applicable
Clearly stated exclusions and assumptions
Not every project contains every category. Your quotation reflects the scope agreed for your home.
Review With Context
Know what is included, excluded and still to be confirmed.
Before the quotation is accepted, we explain the proposed scope and identify known exclusions or allowances. Where a selection or site condition has not yet been confirmed, we keep it clear that the related cost may require adjustment.
Variations
Agree changes before extra work starts.
If you request a change, or if an unforeseen site condition affects the agreed work, the impact on scope, cost or schedule is explained and recorded through the applicable variation process before the additional work moves forward wherever reasonably possible. Rather than promising no cost can ever change, we rely on clarity, itemisation and recorded variations.
Milestone Payments
Payments tied to agreed project stages.
Payments are structured in milestones tied to agreed stages of the project. The quotation or contract states what each payment covers and when it becomes due.
Common Questions
Itemised quotation questions.
No. Changes to the agreed scope, selections, quantities, site conditions or third-party requirements may affect the cost. Where a change is needed, its impact should be discussed and recorded through the applicable variation process.
Yes. You can review your priorities and discuss what to include, simplify, adjust or defer before committing to the agreed scope.
Yes. For a useful comparison, check whether both quotations cover the same quantities, specifications, work categories, exclusions and responsibilities rather than comparing only the final total.
Payments are made in milestones tied to agreed stages of the project. The applicable quotation or contract sets out what each payment covers and when it is due.
