Practical guidance for preparing an enquiry and reviewing a proposed scope.
Start with the site location, drawings and approximate quantities. Explain the intended use, target completion date and available access. Identify whether you need a full construction scope or specific trades. Clear inputs allow assumptions and exclusions to be addressed before quotation.
Check that quotations cover the same quantities, material specifications, labour, transport and finishing requirements. Review taxes, payment milestones, exclusions and how variations will be priced. A lower total can represent a smaller scope rather than a better price.
Identify which areas must remain operational, working-hour restrictions and temporary service needs. Agree dust control, material access and waste removal. Confirm how existing defects or concealed conditions will be reviewed before additional work proceeds.
Agree the inspection requirements, snagging process and documents needed at handover. For applicable works, include approved drawings, material records and operating information. A shared checklist helps both parties understand what remains before final acceptance.
