| Item | Question to be asked |
|---|---|
| Perimeter | Same works, surfaces and quantities? It also controls demolitions and restorations. |
| Materials and supplies | What features are defined and what choices are left open? |
| Exclusion | Transportation, materials management, scaffolding and accessory works are indicated? |
| Plants and professionals | Who coordinates and who pays the activities possibly entrusted to others? |
| Time and time | Are startup conditions, phases and dependencies specified? |
| Economic conditions | Verification of VAT, payments, validity of the offer and management of variants. |
Calculate the difference in amounts
Enter two amounts expressed with the same VAT criterion. The result is only arithmetic and does not evaluate the completeness of the offers.
A missing voice is not worth zero
If an offer includes the restoration of the flooring and the other does not mention it, the totals are not yet comparable. Ask to specify whether the restoration is included, excluded or to quantify. Adding a hypothetical figure would give only apparent precision.
The same applies to temporary quantities, materials to be selected or processed subject to verification. Evide these voices and ask for a written clarification for each offer.
The three answers to get
- What works and quantities form the price?
- What costs do the customer charge or to be defined?
- How do you agree and document any changes?
