Sample online correspondence from prospect customer

LOCATION: Bayan ng Surigao del Sur

Hello, I introduce myself, I am John Doe. We have a plot of 300 SQM on the island of Siargao. We would like to build a BUILDING on this site. In order to confirm our budget and to start the construction, we would need to establish a construction quote.

You will find in attached the details in PDF of the contruction and volumes.

The project consist in 4 shops (6m x 8.5m) and one roof top (24m x 10).

We want an estimate containing:

  • Construction (concrete, iron, etc.) raw ready to receive ceramic or paint. (fittings, ceramic, doors, etc. not included)
  • 5 electric meters (1 per shop and 1 for the roof top)
  • Location for electrical cables (electrical outlets, lights, aircon, fan etc.)
  • one clean water supply per pitch (total 5)
  • provide a system for wastewater (common or individual)
  • building permit (by law)

All installations, clean water, waste water and electricity must meet the standards and laws in force of the Filipino government on the island of SIARGAO.

The PDF gives an idea of the project once finished but we want an estimate for the gross building + electricity + clean water + waste water.
This estimate should not take into account:

  • furnishing materials (wood, ceramic, paint)
  • toilet / sink / plumbing
  • closing (door / window / etc)

Cordially,

John
