• Request a written quote that clearly separates labour, materials, inclusions and possible variations.
• Ask what insurance applies and keep approvals, certificates and invoices with your project records.
• Book early before winter heating demand, summer cooling work or major renovation periods increase lead times.
• For rural or outlying properties, confirm access, travel arrangements, equipment requirements and site preparation in advance.
