[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 78147, member: 250"] IMHO 99% of jobs... excluding the really really small & simple stuff, need to be assessed by a detailed site visit. At which point a formal acceptance of what work you will do, or not do can be agreed. Unless you know what the customer is expecting you to do... you cannot give a reasonable quote!? so "extras" don't really come up:| I normally write the main schedule of work i.e. the electrical bits to be install. then put a list of bullet point notes.. such as [LIST][*]All accessories to be flush/surface mounted etc.. [*]All cables to be hidden in fabric of building/clipped to surface/trunking etc.. [*]All Chases to be filled/left for plasterer. [*]Carpets to be left rolled for later refit/laid flat/tacked etc.. [*]Lino floors, adhesive floor tiles, laminate floor cannot be lifted without some damage, If damage is not accepted they must be lifted prior to work commencing. etc.. etc.. [/LIST] You would mutually agree these sort of points based on the property/owners/any future proposed building alterations etc.. etc.. (often people are having rewires cuz of other major building works!) :D [/QUOTE]
