- What does your price include? Published prices for this work are usually quoted per underpinning or basement project; check yours is quoted the same way before you compare.
- When could you start, and how long will it take? Firms are told when you said you need it; ask them to confirm.
- Who will do the work? Ask whether it is the firm's own staff or a subcontractor.
