03 /Limits and changes

Make the boundaries visible.

Excluded: measured surveys, site visits, structural or specialist design, planning submissions, construction drawings, tender management, continuous site supervision and contractor appointment. Identify any required specialist work separately.

The report is an early assessment of the agreed scope, not a fixed contractor quotation. Its figures depend on the available information and stated assumptions.

Additional scope, meetings, visits or revisions require written agreement on the extra fee and programme before work proceeds. Correcting our own error is not treated as a client-requested addition.

04 /What you receive
