The client has confirmed and taken responsibility that all walls to be moved or new doorways made through walls, are non load bearing, and has gained the relevant planning permission, building control and party wall approvals. All new fixtures and fittings, unless otherwise stated, to be provided by the client. The quotation is subject to a site visit and structural engineer's assessment and calculations where necessary. Timescales are estimated and dependent on material and labour availability. Time frames given in days are working, rather than calendar days, and assume un-impeded access and scheduling of works. All MBUK Construction's designs and drawings are and remain the copyright of MBUK Construction. If the client delays the agreed start date or works once in progress for any reason, a suspended works charge is payable, pro-rata for the man days delayed, as well as any associated material costs. Materials, suites and appliances selected by the Client cannot be changed after being purchased. If requested by the Client, MBUK Construction can purchase specific materials selected by the Client; there may be 15% administration and handling fee for items purchased in this way. The Client is not permitted to commission the works referred to in this estimate or any other works directly with a MBUK Construction Employee or Contractor; MBUK Construction is entitled to 120% of the full contract sum of any such works commissioned, irrespective of whether the Employee or Contractor has been paid or works actually commenced. The Client is not permitted to discuss pricing issues with the team on site, unless prior written authorisation has been given by MBUK Construction. The price is based on all client supplied items being designed for standard UK plumbing and electrical fitting, sizes and ratings. Unless otherwise stated all tiling is assumed to be porcelain, ceramic, non mosaic and smaller than 20cm square, and of a uniform width and thickness. Recessed down lighters supplied by MBUK Construction are standard 50w with white or chrome surround, unless otherwise specified. All other electrical fittings i.e. power outlets and light switches are standard white moulded plastic unless other specified in writing by MBUK Construction.

We recommend that all furniture, pictures and delicate items such as personal chattels are removed from the works area, including access areas, during the works, and those remaining are adequately protected. We also advise that all valuables are removed from site; building sites can be prime targets for theft. MBUK Construction will always endeavour to avoid damage to a customer's property. However, accidental damage while carrying out building works may occur for which we would normally not accept responsibility if due care is taken. The client provides power and water from the utilities on site to enable the contractor to work.

For pricing purposes it is assumed that there is no asbestos in the property. Items not specifically mentioned in our estimates are excluded from the works and estimate pricing. Materials, suites and appliances selected by the Client cannot be changed after being purchased. Any measurements taken by MBUK Construction at the request of the clients for sizing purposes relating to the purchase of specific appliances, fittings and fixtures must be double checked by the client and agreed to in writing prior to purchase; MBUK Construction will take no responsibility for any inaccurate measurement for any such items. Materials and labour supplied by MBUK Construction are guaranteed for twelve months from the date of practical completion of the works. This guarantee is voided if others have worked on MBUK Construction's works during the warrantee period without MBUK Construction's express prior written authorisation, or if MBUK Construction has not been granted access to inspect any potential warrantee issues.

If the customer delays (either before or during commenced works) or cancels all or part of the works, MBUK Construction has the right to the full contract sum, including the non returnable deposit. Any payment that is cancelled or fails to clear will be subject to a penalty charge of 10% or 250 of the monies overdue, whichever is the greater. Payments subsequent to a dishonoured cheque must be made by cash or bankers draft. Works will be suspended until overdue payments are received and cleared.
