What should I expect in a quote?

MangleBadger · 2024-04-12 08:44:28

Looking at having some patio replaced in the backgarden. I've received a number of quotes. Most of them are basic enough just a price for what they will do. Once I pick a quote what should I expect from the builder? Should there be a contract or a more detailed quote / estimate with breakdown of works I can hold them to?…

you should be specifying exactly to the builder what needs to be done and they can quote on that then draw up a contract
