+- 50m2 - Durbigum OR Torch-on (ABE). Need a quote for the bill of quantity - hence there is no need to have people contact me. A Bill of Quantity is to establish costing. Once the client approves the estimate then an appointed contractor is informed. Pricing - includes material & labour. Draws are paid on progress and not a deposit - that tells me a contractor is not positioned financially - material on site is another matter altogether. See JCB for standard contractual info.
My client is the owner of a property. She wants to claim damages from the person who rented the property. For that I would need quotes to access the reasonable costs of repair. Please see attached the photos. The entire place needs small work done here and there and a thorough cleaning is also required.

The water is getting under the belcony tiles which has caused dampnest of my wall and the paint is pealing off. It's only 6sqm the tiles has to be removed, and torch-on bitumen applied then re-tiled. I want it done as soon as the walls and the belcony has dried completely. Because the last guy that did it said it would last 10 years and it's not even 6, the second picture is to show the state of the walls directly below the belcony. Apologies for my tone but I'm drive texting I won't have time later to do this. But you can send me the qoutes incase I'm unable to answer when you call as my days are usually extreme. Thanks so much for your time.
