What to send with your quote request
Describe the outcome you need, even if the report name is uncertain. Include the site address in England, your role, the current project stage and any date you are working towards. Tell us who will receive the result. The table explains useful starting information for different projects; missing documents can be identified during the scope discussion rather than guessed.
| Project or enquiry | Useful information to send | What it helps us establish |
|---|---|---|
| New homes and self-builds | Current plans, elevations and sections; the proposed fabric, heating and ventilation specification; plot schedule; and any written requests for evidence. | Which design calculations and later site tests need to be considered together, and whether the available drawings describe every dwelling being included. |
| Extensions and alterations | Existing and proposed drawings, the intended use of each space, glazing details and a description of what will be retained or replaced. | The boundary of the proposed assessment and the assumptions that would otherwise be needed about the original building and new construction. |
| Conversions and mixed-use buildings | The present and proposed uses, floor plans showing unit boundaries, construction details where known and the wording of the recipient's request. | Whether different parts of the building need separate consideration and which interfaces, such as separating floors or ventilation routes, need more detail. |
| Non-domestic energy work | The building use, drawings, services specification, operating information where available and any existing energy model or report you want reviewed. | The calculation or certificate being sought, the area covered by the enquiry and whether previous assessment files relate to the current proposal. |
| Air, sound and ventilation testing | Site plans, plot or room schedules, construction progress, system details, access arrangements and any design targets already set for the project. | The likely attendance scope, readiness questions and records needed before a tester visits, including whether the site can provide suitable access. |
| Planning, noise and overheating | The application reference, exact request or condition, site layout, nearby uses, equipment data where relevant and the design options still being considered. | The question the report must answer and whether measurements, calculations or design information are needed before an assessment can be scoped. |
| Landlords and building managers | The property use, areas under your control, occupancy arrangements, existing reports and the reason you are seeking a new assessment or review. | Which premises and systems the enquiry covers, what records may be reused and where the assessor needs clearer information about access or responsibility. |
| Asbestos and intrusive inspection | The reason for the investigation, marked-up work areas, available building records, proposed opening-up arrangements and any known restrictions on entry. | The survey purpose, coverage and practical limits so that the proposed investigation matches the work being planned rather than a broad service label. |
| Retrofit and fabric changes | Existing construction information, proposed insulation or heating measures, photographs, ventilation details and any earlier assessment or moisture investigation. | Which parts of the proposal interact and what further evidence is needed before commissioning separate calculations, inspections or testing. |
| EPC and display certificate enquiries | The property description, intended certificate purpose, available plans, existing certificate reference and relevant energy records where these are available. | Which certificate is being requested and what information or site access should be discussed before the assessment is arranged. |
What happens after you send a quote request
We read the project brief
We check the building description against the outcome you have requested. Where an attachment refers to a different address, drawing revision or project phase, we ask you to clarify it. This helps avoid a quotation that looks suitable but covers the wrong part of the work.
We identify gaps in the scope
You may be asked for an equipment schedule, a clearer plan or the complete wording of a condition. Say when information does not yet exist. We can distinguish an unresolved design decision from a missing attachment and explain which question needs answering before the scope can be settled.
We set out the proposed services
The quotation should make clear what is included, what information you must provide and what deliverable is proposed. Check whether attendance, calculations, revisions or further visits are addressed. Raise any difference between the described scope and your expectation before accepting it.
You review access and programme assumptions
Tell us about occupied areas, restricted working arrangements and dates that depend on other trades. A requested date is useful planning information, but it does not confirm availability. Agree the arrangements before treating an assessment or visit as booked, and flag changes that could affect readiness.
The agreed work is arranged
Once the scope and instruction are confirmed, we arrange the appropriate assessor and the next information exchange. Keep the accepted brief with your project records. If the design changes, send the revised material with a short explanation so its effect on the agreed work can be considered.
How we decide which services belong in your quote
Service selection starts with building use, proposed work, project stage and the recipient's question. A request for design advice differs from a request to measure installed performance. An existing report may help explain the background, but we need to know whether its drawings, assumptions and coverage still match the building. We keep those distinctions visible when discussing the scope.
For example, domestic energy calculations can raise different questions from a commercial model. The official Standard Assessment Procedure guidance describes SAP, while the National Calculation Methodology provides the non-domestic calculation context. Send the proposed uses of the spaces rather than choosing a calculation method from the building's appearance alone.
Planning requirements differ by council. We use the request for your application to frame a planning-related enquiry, alongside the official planning application guidance. A report commissioned for another site may have a different question, survey area or evidence base, even when its title sounds similar. Include the actual correspondence instead of only naming the document.
Related services may share input information without producing interchangeable results. A fabric calculation, a ventilation assessment and a site test each answer a different project question. We can discuss them through one contact while identifying their separate inputs and outputs. You can also review the service categories before sending your brief, but you do not need to assemble your own package first.
If you are comparing quotations, compare the stated coverage as well as the total. Check the building areas, report purpose, access assumptions and treatment of changes. Ask about any item you cannot match to your brief. An unexplained difference is worth resolving before work starts, particularly where another consultant will rely on the result for a later stage.
