Have a breakdown

3 December 2012

We have received a quote from a builder to construct our new house, but it is presented as just one figure with no breakdown. Is this normal and should we insist on a detailed quotation?

Answers

No, it is not normal and yes, you should ask for a detailed quotation. The builder must have had to prepare his bid in some detail, so why not let you have a breakdown? It would give you more confidence and, if it is presented in the right way, it would help in valuing the stage payments he will be looking for.
