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.
