A fee is charged for this work and will be laid out in the budget and confirmed as a fixed price prior to preparing and/or making any application. - Provide detailed specification, drawings, contract programme, contract, and payment programme with full cost of works.
A fee is charged for this work which will have been laid out in the initial budget. Work will have been fully appraised by a quantity surveyor with full supplier and sub-contractor detail. - Specification review revision and/or contract works.
The specification is gone through with client in detail to ensure that it will achieve their objectives and one revision of the specification is allowed for with the initial specification costing. Further revisions are charged at an appropriate rate which will be agreed prior to such being undertaken. Client is now in a position to contract works should they wish to proceed with the security that the works have been carefully considered and therefore (subject to any amendments required by the clients) are likely to perform both to budget and programme.
At the point the client contracts the works a deposit payment will be required, the amount having been clearly laid out in the payment programme. - Once contracted:
