  1. QUOTATIONS

3.1       Quotes will include labour and materials +VAT. The price will be fixed but manifest errors shall be exempted. Quotes may need to be revised if you change the scope of the work, if there is an increase in the price of materials, or if further works are needed to complete the job.

3.2       All quotations submitted by us remain open to acceptance for a period of fourteen days from the date thereof. The quotation is based upon the conditions:

3.2.1   That the work will be carried out during normal working hours (8.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. Monday to Friday);

3.2.2   That we will be given unrestricted access to the premises upon which the work is to be executed; and
