THE COST DRIVERSLook beyond
Look beyond
the area rate.
A square-metre or square-foot rate is only useful when it identifies the measured area, specification and inclusions. It cannot replace a review of your actual property.

Property condition and measured scope
02
Specialist services and interfaces
03
Material and equipment specification
04
Access, programme and procurement
What your proposal
should make clear.
Request a scoped review- Measured scope and specification
- Included supply and installation responsibilities
- Allowances, exclusions and unresolved conditions
- Design, approval and procurement responsibilities
- Programme, payment milestones and change process
- Handover information and warranty responsibilities
We do not publish a generic starting price as a substitute for a project scope. Share your working budget and priorities so the proposal can be developed around useful choices.
BUILD A COMPARABLE SCOPE
Make the assumptions visible.
Price the same work before comparing totals. The following information helps connect your Fitworks brief to an itemised proposal.
Information that supports the quotation
- Property address and type
- Rooms and outdoor areas included
- What works and should be retained
- How the space needs to function
- Working budget and genuine deadline
- Existing plans, photographs and known restrictions
Questions for the commercial review
- Which design, supply and installation tasks are included?
- Which quantities and products are confirmed, and which remain allowances?
- Who provides retained-condition investigations or specialist reviews?
- What protection, delivery, removal and making-good work is included?
- How are changes priced and approved before proceeding?
- What documents and completion criteria support the payment stages?
Continuous flooring
Confirm substrate condition, transitions, thresholds and the suitability of each finish for its actual exposure.
Include the ongoing requirement: Keep spare material references and a cleaning guide for each finish.
Bespoke joinery
Review internal layouts, hardware, ventilation and access to adjacent services before fabrication.
Include the ongoing requirement: Record hinge and runner models so adjustments and replacement are straightforward.
Lighting and controls
Coordinate fittings, switching, dimming, access panels and the control interface with the room plan.
Include the ongoing requirement: Keep circuit information, product schedules and the operating instructions together.
Website concepts and general guidance are not quotations. Scope, product choices, applicable charges and commercial terms belong in the written proposal.
