PROJECT QUOTATION
Procurement & delivery
Project quotation and enquiry guide
Agree scope, materials and delivery conditions before comparing prices; a clear enquiry reduces repeated clarification.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Understand the conditions before choosing a solution
Project quotations depend on design and site conditions. Similar areas of carports, landscape roofs, stands and tank covers can require different forms and works. This page helps organise enquiries, compare offers and manage changes; the pricing article explains individual cost components.
List included works
Identify foundations, drainage, transport, lifting and taxes individually to reveal omissions.
Retain design revisions
Link each quote to its drawings and materials schedule, confirming cost and programme effects of changes.
Key considerations
Start with concise requirements
Without complete drawings, provide location, use, length, width, height and photographs, with budget range and desired delivery date.
Initial estimates guide decisions. Prices become more precise once dimensions, foundations and materials needing further work are confirmed.
- Essential functions
- Alternative appearance and material options
- Works already completed by others
Key considerations
Use one scope schedule for all suppliers
Ask for separate design, materials, fabrication, foundations, transport and installation items, listing unknown conditions separately.
Check whether removal, reinstatement, night work or remote mobilisation actually apply. Unnecessary works need not be assumed, but conditions should be explicit.
Key considerations
Agree changes and handover before ordering
Column, material, colour and drainage changes can affect fabrication and site work. Record the approving person and drawing revision.
Compare payment stages, validity, delivery and acceptance as well as price. Distinguish material warranties, workmanship warranties and design life.
SCOPE & COORDINATION
Define each part of the work
Use the same scope for proposals, quotations and handover.
| Work item | Discussion and delivery | Conditions to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Survey and design | Required proposal and document detail | Survey arrangements and design deliverables |
| Materials and fabrication | Pricing against approved material and component lists | Specifications and measurement basis |
| Transport and site works | Actual destination and access conditions | Unloading, lifting, installation and reinstatement |
| Interfaces and handover | Drainage, equipment interfaces and documents | Taxes, warranties and acceptance conditions |

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions
Why do square-metre prices differ so much?
First check measurement, structure, materials and installation boundaries. Identically named unit prices can represent different work.
Can we discuss budget before drawings exist?
Yes, with clearly stated assumptions and unresolved conditions. An estimate is not the final contract price.
Is the lowest quote the best value?
Compare complete costs after establishing equivalent requirements and documents, then review delivery, changes and maintenance conditions.
Is the original quote valid after design changes?
Have the supplier identify unchanged and revised items and issue a new version reflecting the effects.
