Construction enquiries: 5 details for an accurate quote

Illustrative demo photograph — Overview

“I would like to construct a building” starts a conversation, but is not enough for an accurate price. These five points save everyone time.

Intended use

Housing, business, storage or another purpose: the building’s function guides everything else.

Location

Access, ground or building condition and site occupancy affect the organisation of the work. Clearly identified, dated photos provide an initial overview, but do not replace a visit.

Available documents

Drawings, dimensions, quantities, specifications or a list of works. A missing document need not prevent discussion: identify it so that an assumption is not mistaken for confirmed information.

Schedule

Preferred start date, delivery constraints and other contractors already involved.

Scope

What is expected, what is excluded from the package and what needs clarification before pricing.

A well-prepared enquiry makes proposals easier to compare and helps identify decisions needed before work starts.
