The client supplies all other existing drawings, documents and green files; exceptional approval requirements and any inspection failure or design revision are charged extra; VAT is separate; and any additional works are charged extra. Payment follows a 50% advance, 40% progressive and 10% final schedule, and the quotation does not commit to a fixed completion timeline.
