Before You Sign an Office Renovation Quote, Check These 10 Things
A renovation quotation can look cheap simply because important items are missing. Before signing, slow down and read the scope.

Check what is included
Do not assume painting, disposal or wiring is included unless it is written.
Look for
- Materials
- Quantity
- Brand where relevant
- Labour
- Delivery
- Disposal
Ask about changes
Almost every renovation has changes.
Confirm
- How variation orders are priced
- Who approves them
- Whether work starts before approval
Check payment stages
Avoid paying too much before enough work is completed.
Understand
- Deposit
- Progress claims
- Final payment
- Defect period if offered
My view
Compare quotations line by line. The lowest total is not useful if you cannot tell what you are actually buying.
