A short checklist that prevents most delays and disputes.
1. What is included in the price?
Ask for an itemised quote and check what is excluded, such as furniture, authority fees or specialist equipment.
2. Who handles approvals?
Landlord, building and authority approvals can decide your programme. Agree who prepares and follows them.
3. What does the programme look like?
Ask for key dates in writing, including long-lead items. A programme you can read is a programme you can hold someone to.
4. How are changes handled?
Changes happen. A clear process, priced and approved in writing before work, protects both sides.
5. What happens at handover?
Expect a joint snagging walk-through, testing, training, as-built drawings, manuals and warranty documents.
