The material name is only one part of the quotation

A fixed price needs the condition, quantity, work category, access and completion requirements as well as the ACM type.

Condition

Intact material that can be handled carefully is different from broken, degraded or contaminated ACMs.

Access

Ground-floor access is different from scaffolding, fragile roofs, confined spaces or occupied buildings.

Work method

The proposed disturbance influences work classification, controls, equipment, labour and programme.

Check what is included before comparing the headline total

  • material and quantity
  • access equipment
  • enclosure where required
  • waste packaging, Scottish special-waste documentation and disposal
  • air monitoring / clearance where required
  • working hours
  • making good
  • replacement products
A lower quote can simply contain fewer inclusions.

Ask whether scaffolding, analytical work, replacement roofing or reinstatement are included or excluded.

Access, occupation and Scottish waste arrangements can materially change a removal quote

Tenements & shared access

Common stairs, upper floors, restricted loading and neighbouring residents can influence labour, protection, manual handling and programme.

City-centre commercial work

Hotels, shops and offices may require out-of-hours work, segregation, tenant coordination, analytical support and carefully programmed reoccupation.

Special-waste documentation

Scottish asbestos waste movements require appropriate SEPA special-waste consignment arrangements. Waste, transport and disposal should be explicit within the quote.

Access, work category, project controls and Scottish waste arrangements influence price

Domestic & tenement access

Shared stairs, rear gardens, upper floors and limited loading can affect protection, manual handling and waste routes.

Commercial & industrial work

High-level access, enclosures, live operations, permits, decontamination and independent analytical requirements can materially change project cost.

Scottish special waste

Packaging, transport, consignment documentation and authorised disposal should be explicit in the written quotation.
