A quote for the Insurance Company

Posted by Eugene Baston on February 16, 2014 at 8:54pm

''The Insurance Co said get some quotes''.

Okay, I've been called for a quote, it's a boundary wall and fence structure that's blown down. Like for like replacement required.

I'm used to dealing with 'real people' - domestic and commercial clients - and don't have any experience in producing a quote that's going to an Ins. Co.

What experiences do you have? Is it worth the (assumed) extra time and efforts?

Cheers, Eugene

    whenever I've done them, its been a case of produce a quote for the client exactly the same as anyone else and let them pass it to the insurance company. I've sometimes got a phone call from the company asking a few questions as to what's this, or whys this cost this etc, but never any real extra effort. I always make it a stipulation that the client is paying me and my contract is with them, not the insurance company, to avoid the waiting for payment from the insurance company excuse.

    sort out payment terms first!!

    Add a little extra on as landscaping works are seen as specialist works, ive seen my labour prices double on certain jobs.
