How it is priced
Every job is quoted in writing from your drawings or brief before any work starts. The quote is a fixed price in Australian dollars, with the scope and the files you receive, and the delivery date is agreed in the quote. There are no prices on this website because every job is different.
Steady work? A monthly arrangement has a fixed monthly fee, quoted for your volume.
Limits
- Quantities are measured from the drawings provided. They are not checked on site.
- Quantities are net, as drawn. Waste, laps and offcuts are yours to add unless the quote includes a stated allowance.
- Where a drawing is unclear, the item goes on the list to confirm. It is not assumed.
- You receive quantities, not a price for the work.
Questions
Do you add waste?
Quantities are measured net, as drawn. Waste and laps depend on your product and method, so they are yours to add, unless the quote says a stated allowance is included.
Can you work in feet and inches?
Yes. Australian metric units are the default. Square feet and feet are available on request, for overseas jobs.
