FAQ: What is the difference between a quote and an estimate?
ANSWER: A
FAQ: My neighbour was given an estimate by a contractor and then ended up paying almost twice as much as expected at the end of the project. How does this happen?
ANSWER
Underestimating costs is a mistake that M&S avoid by doing detailed market research to ensure that our estimates are reasonable and realistic. A less expensive estimate might be attractive to a client but M&S do not believe it is fair to create unreasonable expectations by underestimating the final bill.
FAQ: What do I get when I ask M&S for an estimate?
