The pit falls of obtaining an office fitout quotation

We often receive calls from people who are seeking an office fitout, and really have no idea exactly what they want. There is no shame in this, and really that is why we are here, you know your business and we know ours.

The problem really occurs when you learn(normally fairly early in the call) that they have approached 4 or 5 others for a quote but with no clear idea of  what they really want and how they want their fitout to flow or look. It’s kind of like watching a car crash that’s about to happen. So what can you do?

The answer is simple, you have to engage someone to draft plans and prepare a scope of works that everyone can quote off, including a tender summary form. This is the only way you can know everyone is quoting the same thing… ie the costs can be directly compared between fitout contractors. It’s OK for tenders to offer alternative solutions that they feel have benefits, but only after they have quoted  exactly what you want.Speak to your Officefitout.com.ng representative if you would like more information on this service.
