Q; How long does a quote take?
A;Firstly, we need to mention the difference between a quote and an estimate. we do quotes, not estimates. An estimate is just that, its not a fixed price and will often be confused for, or referred to as a quote by both tradespeople and customers. Ensure any quotes you are given are fixed price quotes, not variable. We book in quotes as they're requested. Mark comes to site to measure and discuss them, then back to the office as he can, to prepare and return them in the order they have been measured. They can take anywhere from 1 week to 3 weeks to prepare and return. Many factors play into this, sometimes we need to wait for prices back from other trades or suppliers. Mark also puts a lot of time and effort into making sure nothing is missed and everything is priced accurately. Larger projects take longer to quote. Mark works tirelessly to ensure that we get them back to you as quickly as we can. Please feel free to call Mel, on 0429 345 547 anytime if you have any questions.
Q; When should we get a quote?
A;A quote should be something you source when you know you are getting the work done. Many man-hours go into preparing them and in many cases there is a cost associated with this.
Q; Should we get more than 1 quote.
A; Sure. But, its important to be sure you are comparing apples with apples. its easy to compare the end figure on 2 quotes, what is much more complicated is working out the bones of what those two quotes are offering and which is offering better value.
Q; Can you give me a ballpark figure?
A; We do not do Ballpark figures. Ballpark figures are often inaccurate and often end in the homeowner spending much more than they were led to believe they would be. We feel it is irresponsible of us to give you a price that isn't based on measurements and facts.
Q; Do you do commercial work?
A; If in doubt, always feel free to ask. Mark is licensed and capable, however this type of work is not the core of our business.
Q; Do you do small projects?
A; Small projects are also not the core of our business, we specialise in larger projects. We are always happy to help where we can. However, because Mark is licensed, insured and we are set up to do the larger projects - we are often on sites for extended periods which means that our wait list is often longer than what someone with a small job would hope for. Please feel free to ask, we would love to help if we can.
Q; How far will you travel?
The guys have traveled a reasonable distance. We have worked in Medowie, Karuah, Glen William, Maitland, Stockton, North Arm Cove, Newcastle & Nelson Bay. We must also consider our other trades. If the tradies we know and trust cant travel to the areas requested, things can get complicated. We pride ourselves on delivering quality workmanship, and have a team of trusted tradies who we use on our sites.
Q; Can you get us to lockup?
A; Sure, if you're building a home, granny flat, extension or anything else and you would like us to complete a certain stage of it, we can do that. Mark has built many homes from the ground up, so please just let us know what you would like and we will see what we can work out for you.
Q; Can I DIY some of the work and you do the rest.
A; This depends what you are wanting us to do, and what you want to do yourself. Anything that needs to be covered under Marks License needs to be done by Mark.
