Establish a common basis
Before comparing numbers, check that specifications, quantity, packaging and destination match. Differences in these details can change the comparison.
Read the scope
Clarify which services are included and which costs are separate. Put responsibilities, handover stages and expected documents into a shared comparison list.
Turn ambiguity into questions
If timing, payment arrangements or quality review are unclear, ask before deciding. Written answers to specific questions help avoid different interpretations.
This is a general guide to preparing a discussion. Each project’s circumstances require individual review.
