Wardrobe Cost in Dubai: What Changes a Fitted Wardrobe Quote?
Why do two wardrobes with almost the same size receive completely different quotations? This guide explains the real cost drivers — dimensions, materials, doors, fittings, site work and installation — so you can compare quotes fairly and avoid surprises.
- Understand every line in your quote
- Compare quotes like-for-like
- Avoid hidden extra charges
You have measured the wall, saved a few wardrobe ideas on your phone, and started asking companies for prices. Then the quotations arrive — and they are all different. One company quotes a figure for a “2.4-metre wardrobe,” another asks for a site visit before giving any number, and a third sends a price that seems too good to be true.
This is one of the most common frustrations Dubai homeowners face when planning a fitted wardrobe. The truth is simple: there is no single “wardrobe cost in Dubai” because a wardrobe is not one standard product. It is a made-to-measure combination of carcass, doors, finish, hardware, internal storage, and installation work — and every one of those elements can change the final figure.
This guide breaks down exactly what changes a fitted wardrobe quote, how to read the specification behind the price, and how to compare two quotations fairly. By the end, you will know exactly what information to prepare before requesting a quote, and which questions to ask before you sign anything.

What Information Determines a Wardrobe Quote?
When a carpenter or wardrobe company prepares a quotation, they are not just pricing “a wardrobe.” They are pricing a specific combination of materials, labour, hardware, and site work. Understanding these building blocks is the first step to understanding why quotes differ.
The Seven Building Blocks of a Wardrobe Quote
Dimensions
Width, height, and depth determine how much board, edging, and finishing material the wardrobe needs.
Carcass Material
The board type and thickness used for the body, shelves, and back panel affect both durability and price.
Door System
Hinged, sliding, mirrored, or glass doors each require different hardware, tracks, and installation methods.
Finish
Melamine, laminate, lacquer, veneer, or painted finishes vary in material cost and fabrication time.
Internal Fittings
Drawers, shelves, hanging rails, shoe racks, and pull-out accessories add components and labour.
Installation & Site Work
Wall condition, skirting, access, and delivery logistics can add work that was not in the original estimate.
Why Two “Same-Size” Wardrobes Can Cost Differently
Imagine two homeowners in Dubai both request a wardrobe for a 2.4-metre-wide bedroom wall. Homeowner A wants a simple unit: two hinged doors, three shelves, one hanging rail, and a melamine finish. Homeowner B wants the same 2.4-metre width but with floor-to-ceiling height, four soft-close drawers, a mirrored sliding door, LED strip lighting, and a shoe rack.
Even though the external footprint is nearly identical, Homeowner B's wardrobe requires:
- More board material for the taller carcass and additional shelving.
- A sliding track system instead of standard hinges.
- Four drawer boxes, runners, and fronts instead of none.
- A mirror panel, which needs different handling and edge treatment.
- Electrical coordination for lighting.
- More installation time for alignment and finishing.
The result: two quotations that look nothing alike, even though both customers said “I need a 2.4-metre wardrobe.”
Key takeaway: Never compare wardrobe quotes on price alone. Always compare the specification behind the price — dimensions, materials, doors, fittings, and installation scope.
How Wardrobe Size and Layout Affect the Cost
Size is the most obvious cost driver, but it works in more ways than most homeowners expect. It is not just “bigger = more expensive.” The shape of the space and the layout of the storage matter just as much.
Width, Height and Depth: What Each One Changes
Width is usually the biggest single driver of material quantity. A 3-metre-wide wardrobe needs roughly 25% more board than a 2.4-metre wardrobe of the same height and depth — and often an extra door or door panel, more edging, and more internal fittings.
Height matters more than people realise. A standard wardrobe might be 2.1–2.2 metres tall. A floor-to-ceiling unit in a Dubai villa with a 2.8-metre ceiling needs taller side panels, possibly a top box or bulkhead section, and more careful handling during installation. Taller units also need stiffer construction to prevent the doors from racking over time.
Depth affects the internal layout. A standard depth of around 600mm allows clothes on hangers to fit comfortably. A shallower depth — say 450mm — may need special hanging solutions or pull-down rails, which add cost. A deeper unit (700mm+) uses more board and may need reinforcement.
| Dimension Change | What It Affects | Typical Impact on Quote |
|---|---|---|
| Wider (+0.5m) | More board, edging, possibly an extra door or panel | Material quantity rises; may add a door |
| Taller (floor-to-ceiling) | Taller side panels, top box/bulkhead, stiffer construction | More material; sometimes extra installation care |
| Deeper (+100mm) | More board per shelf and side panel; may need reinforcement | Modest material increase; possible structural addition |
| Shallower (under 500mm) | May need pull-down rails or special hanging solutions | Can add specialised hardware |
Straight, Corner and Walk-In Layouts
A straight wardrobe along one flat wall is the simplest and usually the most predictable to quote. The carpenter measures one run, designs one elevation, and installs one unit.
A corner wardrobe introduces a return — the wardrobe wraps around a corner onto a second wall. This adds a join, often a corner shelf or carousel unit, and more complex alignment work. The return section needs its own doors or an open-shelf design, and the two sections must be joined cleanly.
A walk-in wardrobe is essentially a small room of joinery. It may involve two, three, or even four walls of storage, a central island, lighting, and sometimes a seating bench. The design work is more involved, the material quantity is much higher, and installation can take several days rather than hours.
Practical tip: If your bedroom has an awkward recess, a sloped ceiling, or an awkward corner, mention it upfront. These site conditions are much easier (and cheaper) to design around at the quotation stage than to discover on installation day.
Internal Storage Layout: Where Budgets Quietly Grow
This is the area where homeowners are most often surprised. A “basic” internal layout might include:
- 2–3 fixed shelves
- 1–2 hanging rails
- A simple top shelf
A “fully organised” layout might include:
- 4–6 soft-close drawers
- Adjustable shelving
- Double hanging rails
- A pull-out trouser rack
- A pull-out shoe rack
- A jewellery or accessory tray
- Integrated LED lighting
- A pull-down rail for high storage
Each additional drawer adds a box, front, runners, and assembly time. Each pull-out accessory adds a mechanism and fitting time. LED lighting adds wiring, a transformer, and coordination with your electrician.
None of these are “wrong” choices — they are lifestyle choices. But they should be priced transparently, not discovered as a surprise on the final invoice.
Which Materials and Finishes Change the Quote?
Materials are where quotes can diverge the most — and where vague language causes the most confusion. “MDF wardrobe” tells you almost nothing. The real questions are: what thickness, what edging, what finish, and what hardware?
Hardware quality — hinges, runners, and soft-close fittings — is a major but often overlooked cost driver.
Wardrobe Carcass and Panel Material
The carcass is the skeleton of your wardrobe — the sides, top, bottom, shelves, and back panel. Common material options include:
- MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard): Smooth, stable, and easy to paint or laminate. Available in different thicknesses (typically 16mm or 18mm for carcass work).
- Plywood: Stronger per millimetre than MDF, with a layered construction. Often chosen for heavier loads or where screw-holding is important.
- Particle board / Chipboard: A budget-friendly option, lighter and less dense, commonly used with melamine facing.
- Back panels: Usually a thinner sheet (3–6mm) that closes the back of the wardrobe. The thickness and material here affect both rigidity and cost.
Why thickness matters: An 18mm shelf will carry more weight without sagging than a 16mm shelf of the same material. For a wardrobe holding folded clothes, 16mm is often fine. For a shelf holding heavy items — books, suitcases, or a large collection of shoes — 18mm or even 25mm may be recommended.
Edging: The visible edges of panels are covered with edging tape or a solid edge strip. Cheap paper edging can chip over time; a thicker ABS or solid wood edge is more durable. This is a small line item that makes a big difference to how the wardrobe looks after five years.
Door Finish and Appearance
The door is the most visible part of your wardrobe, and the finish you choose has a big impact on both look and price:
| Finish Type | Look & Feel | Typical Cost Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Melamine | Smooth, consistent colour, wide range of wood-effect and plain finishes | Economical; most common for budget-friendly builds |
| Laminate | Durable, scratch-resistant, available in many textures | Moderate; good balance of cost and durability |
| Lacquer | High-gloss or matte, premium feel, very smooth | Higher; requires more preparation and finishing time |
| Veneer | Real wood grain, warm and natural appearance | Higher; real wood material cost |
| Mirror / Glass | Reflective, makes a room feel larger | Varies; adds material, handling, and safety considerations |
Edge treatment is worth asking about specifically. A painted or lacquered door with a visible raw edge will look unfinished. A well-executed edge banding or a solid-edge profile makes the door look like a single piece of material.
Hardware and Fittings
Hardware is the difference between a wardrobe that feels good to use every day and one that becomes annoying within a year. Key items include:
- Hinges: Standard vs. soft-close. Soft-close hinges prevent doors from slamming and last longer.
- Drawer runners: Ball-bearing vs. soft-close undermount. Undermount runners are smoother and hide better but cost more.
- Sliding door tracks: The quality of the track determines how smoothly the doors glide and how long they last.
- Handles: Simple knobs vs. integrated handle-less profiles (push-to-open or recessed grips).
- Accessories: Pull-out racks, jewellery trays, belt/tie organisers, pull-down rails.
Watch out: Some quotations list “soft-close” without specifying whether it applies to doors only, drawers only, or both. Ask for the hardware to be named specifically in the written quote.
Dubai Climate and Material Choice
Dubai's climate — hot summers, high humidity near the coast, and air-conditioned interiors — affects material performance. Wood-based boards can expand or contract slightly with humidity changes, especially in rooms with poor ventilation or near bathrooms.
This does not mean one material is “always best for Dubai.” It means the room conditions should be discussed. A wardrobe in a dry, air-conditioned master bedroom has different needs than one in a humid en-suite or a room with direct sunlight on the wall.
A good carpenter will ask about the room's conditions before recommending a material — not just quote the cheapest option.
Hinged or Sliding Doors: What Should You Compare?
The door system is one of the biggest single decisions in a wardrobe project — both functionally and financially. Getting this wrong is expensive to fix later.
Sliding doors save floor space but require a quality track system and precise installation.
Hinged Doors: The Traditional Choice
Hinged doors open like a cupboard door — on hinges, swinging outward. They give you full, immediate access to the entire wardrobe interior at once, which many people prefer for daily use.
What affects the cost:
- Number of doors (more doors = more hinges and more edging).
- Door width (wider doors need stiffer construction to prevent sagging).
- Hinge quality (standard vs. soft-close, and how many per door).
- Opening clearance needed in front of the wardrobe (you need room for the door to swing open).
Best for: Rooms with at least 500–600mm of clear floor space in front of the wardrobe, and homeowners who want to see the entire interior at once.
Sliding Doors: The Space-Saver
Sliding doors move along a track, so they need no clearance in front of the wardrobe. This makes them ideal for narrow bedrooms, rooms where the bed sits close to the wardrobe, or any space where a swinging door would block a walkway.
What affects the cost:
- Track system quality (a cheap track will stick, jump, or wear out quickly).
- Number of panels (2-panel vs. 3-panel vs. 4-panel systems).
- Panel size and weight (larger, heavier panels need stronger tracks).
- Mirror or glass content (adds weight and handling complexity).
- Soft-close mechanism (a premium add-on that prevents slamming).
Trade-off to know: Sliding doors mean you can only access one section of the wardrobe at a time — the other panel is always in the way. Some people find this frustrating for daily use.
Mirror and Glass Panels
A full-length mirror on a wardrobe door is popular in Dubai bedrooms — it makes the room feel larger and eliminates the need for a separate dressing mirror. But it adds cost:
- The mirror or glass itself.
- Safety backing film (required in many buildings).
- Reinforced door construction to carry the extra weight.
- More careful handling during transport and installation.
Comparison rule: Never compare a basic hinged-door quote against a premium sliding-door quote and conclude one company is “more expensive.” Compare the same door system, same material, same hardware grade — then the price difference tells you something meaningful.
Quick Decision Guide
| Your Situation | Recommended Door Type | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Narrow bedroom, bed close to wardrobe | Sliding | No swing clearance needed |
| Spacious bedroom, want full access | Hinged | Full interior visibility at once |
| Want a full-length mirror | Sliding with mirror panel | Common and practical combination |
| Tight budget, simple needs | Hinged, melamine finish | Lowest material and hardware cost |
| Want a premium, seamless look | Handle-less sliding, lacquer finish | High-end appearance, higher cost |
Internal Fittings: Where Budgets Quietly Grow
The outside of the wardrobe is what you see. The inside is what you use every single day. Internal fittings are where a “basic” wardrobe becomes a genuinely useful one — and where costs can creep if you are not paying attention.
The Storage Hierarchy
Think about what you actually own and how you use it:
- Long hanging — dresses, coats, abayas (needs 1,500–1,700mm clear height).
- Short hanging — shirts, jackets, folded trousers (needs 900–1,100mm, often double-stacked).
- Shelving — folded clothes, bags, boxes.
- Drawers — underwear, accessories, small items.
- Shoe storage — dedicated racks or angled shelves.
- Accessories — belts, ties, jewellery, watches.
A well-designed wardrobe matches the internal layout to your actual wardrobe contents, not a generic template. If you own 30 dresses and 5 shirts, you need more long-hanging space than the average layout provides.
Cost Impact of Common Add-Ons
| Internal Feature | What It Adds | Impact on Quote |
|---|---|---|
| Extra shelf | One board, edging, pins/clips | Low |
| Extra hanging rail | Rail, end supports | Low |
| Soft-close drawer | Box, front, runners, assembly | Moderate per drawer |
| Pull-out shoe rack | Mechanism, frame, fitting | Moderate |
| Pull-down rail | Spring mechanism, fitting | Moderate to high |
| LED strip lighting | Strip, transformer, wiring, switch | Moderate; may need electrician |
| Jewellery/accessory tray | Tray, runners, fitting | Low to moderate |
Budget tip: If you are working to a fixed budget, prioritise in this order: (1) correct dimensions and door system, (2) adequate hanging space, (3) 2–3 quality drawers, (4) accessories and lighting. Get the fundamentals right first; accessories can always be added later.
Lighting: Worth It or Not?
Integrated LED lighting is one of the most requested — and most misunderstood — wardrobe features. A sensor-activated LED strip inside the wardrobe is genuinely useful: it lights the interior when you open the door, making it easier to find things.
But it adds complexity: wiring, a transformer or driver, a sensor or switch, and coordination with your home's electrical system. If your wardrobe is being built during a full bedroom renovation, adding lighting is straightforward. If it is a standalone wardrobe project, discuss whether the electrical work is included or needs a separate electrician.
Installation, Site Conditions & Hidden Work
This is the section most generic cost guides skip — and the section where homeowners most often get surprised. The wardrobe itself is only half the project. Getting it into your room and fitted properly is the other half.
A site measurement reveals wall condition, access constraints, and any extra work needed before fabrication begins.
Why a Site Measurement Matters
Photos and rough measurements are useful for a preliminary discussion. But walls are rarely perfectly straight, floors are rarely perfectly level, and Dubai apartments often have surprises behind the plaster.
A site measurement checks:
- Exact wall dimensions at multiple heights (walls can bow or taper).
- Floor level (an uneven floor affects how the wardrobe sits and whether scribing is needed).
- Ceiling height at different points.
- Skirting and cornice (may need cutting back or scribing around).
- Wall condition (hollow drywall vs. solid block affects fixing methods).
- Access route (lift size, staircase width, door openings — can a 2.4m panel actually get to the room?).
- Electrical points (if lighting is planned).
Any of these can change the scope — and therefore the quote. A wardrobe that looked simple in photos may need scribing, packing, or a modified design once the carpenter sees the actual wall.
Common Site Surprises in Dubai Homes
- Uneven walls: Very common in older buildings. The wardrobe may need scribing (shaping the panel to follow the wall) or packing behind.
- Skirting boards: Often need to be cut back or the wardrobe designed to sit over/around them.
- Lift access: In apartment buildings, a large wardrobe panel may not fit in the lift. This can mean carrying panels up stairs (extra labour) or splitting the design into smaller modules.
- Existing wardrobe removal: If there is an old built-in wardrobe, its removal and disposal is usually a separate line item.
- Electrical work: Adding a socket, moving a switch, or installing lighting circuits is usually a separate trade.
Before you sign: Ask explicitly: “Is wall preparation, skirting modification, old wardrobe removal, and disposal included in this quote?” Get the answer in writing. These are the four most common sources of unexpected extra charges.
Delivery and Installation: Included or Extra?
Some companies include delivery and installation in the quoted price. Others quote the wardrobe only and charge separately for delivery and fitting. Neither approach is wrong — but it must be clear.
When comparing quotes, check:
- Is delivery to my specific Dubai community included?
- Is installation by the same team that made the wardrobe, or a third-party fitter?
- How many installation visits are included?
- What happens if something does not fit on installation day?
- Is waste removal and site cleanup included?
A quote that looks cheaper but excludes installation may end up costing more overall once you add a separate fitter's fee.
What Should a Fitted Wardrobe Quote Include?
A professional wardrobe quotation is more than a number at the bottom of a page. It is a written specification that tells you exactly what you are buying. Use this checklist to review any quote — whether from Nawaz or another provider.
The Complete Wardrobe Quotation Checklist
- Confirmed dimensions (width × height × depth) with a drawing or layout sketch
- Carcass material named specifically (e.g., “18mm MDF, melamine-faced”)
- Back panel material and thickness
- Edge treatment specified (e.g., “1mm ABS edging, matching colour”)
- Door style (hinged / sliding), quantity, and individual door dimensions
- Door finish named specifically (e.g., “high-gloss lacquer, RAL colour code”)
- Mirror or glass specification, if applicable (thickness, safety backing)
- Hardware brands or grade specified (hinges, runners, tracks, handles)
- Soft-close specification (doors, drawers, or both — be specific)
- Internal layout drawing showing shelf positions, rail heights, drawer count
- List of accessories (shoe racks, pull-outs, lighting, trays) with quantities
- Site measurement: included or charged separately?
- Design/drawing fee: included or charged separately?
- Manufacturing lead time stated in writing
- Delivery: included, and to which Dubai community?
- Installation: included, how many visits, by whom?
- Wall preparation, skirting work, old wardrobe removal: included or excluded?
- Waste removal and site cleanup: included or excluded?
- VAT: clearly shown as included or added
- Payment schedule (deposit %, milestones, final payment)
- Warranty terms: what is covered, for how long, and what voids it
- Change-order process: how are variations priced and approved?
Important: This checklist describes what a complete and transparent quotation should contain. It does not mean every item is automatically included in every Nawaz quote — always confirm the specific inclusions and exclusions in your own written quotation.
Red Flags in a Wardrobe Quote
Be cautious if a quotation:
- Gives a price without any dimensions or drawing.
- Says “MDF wardrobe” without specifying thickness or finish.
- Does not mention hardware at all.
- Says “installation included” without defining what installation covers.
- Has no exclusions section (everything is “included” — which usually means nothing is defined).
- Has no written warranty or timeline.
- Requires full payment upfront with no milestone structure.
A vague quote is not necessarily dishonest — but it leaves too much room for disagreement later. Ask for clarification in writing before you commit.
How to Compare Two Wardrobe Quotes Fairly
You have two quotations on the table. One is AED 8,500, the other is AED 12,000. Before you assume the cheaper one is a “better deal,” walk through this like-for-like comparison.
Step 1: Match the Dimensions
Confirm both quotes are for the same width, height, and depth. A quote for a 2.0m × 2.4m wardrobe cannot be fairly compared to one for a 2.4m × 2.7m wardrobe.
Step 2: Match the Material Specification
Check the carcass material, thickness, back panel, and edging are equivalent. “MDF” in one quote might mean 16mm melamine-faced MDF; in another, it might mean 18mm lacquered MDF with a solid-edge profile. These are not the same product.
Step 3: Match the Door System
Confirm both are hinged or both are sliding. If one is sliding and the other is hinged, you are comparing different products. Also check the number of doors/panels and whether mirrors or glass are included.
Step 4: Match the Internal Fittings
Count the drawers, shelves, rails, and accessories in each quote. A quote with 4 soft-close drawers is not comparable to one with 1 basic drawer.
Step 5: Match the Hardware Grade
Check whether soft-close is included, and for what (doors, drawers, or both). Check the runner type (ball-bearing vs. undermount) and the track quality for sliding systems.
Step 6: Match the Installation Scope
Confirm delivery, installation, wall preparation, skirting work, old wardrobe removal, and waste disposal are treated the same way in both quotes.
Step 7: Check the Fine Print
Compare VAT treatment, payment schedule, lead time, warranty, and change-order terms. A quote with a longer warranty or a clearer change-order process may be worth a slightly higher price.
| Comparison Point | Quote A | Quote B | Which Is Better? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dimensions | 2.4m × 2.7m × 0.6m | 2.4m × 2.7m × 0.6m | Same — proceed |
| Carcass | 18mm MDF, melamine | 18mm MDF, melamine | Same — proceed |
| Doors | 2 hinged, soft-close | 2 sliding, soft-close | Different system — not comparable |
| Drawers | 2 soft-close | 4 soft-close | Quote B includes more |
| Installation | Included | Excluded (+AED 800 typical) | Adjust Quote B total before comparing |
| Quoted Price | AED 9,500 | AED 10,200 + AED 800 = AED 11,000 | Quote A is AED 1,500 cheaper — but check hardware grade |
Practical tip: Build this comparison in a simple spreadsheet. List every specification line by line, fill in what each quote actually says, and only then compare the totals. Ten minutes of work here can save you thousands of dirhams and weeks of frustration.
What Can Increase the Cost After the Initial Estimate?
An initial estimate is exactly that — an estimate. It is based on the information available at the time. Several things can change the final figure once the project moves forward:
1. Measurement Corrections
If the rough measurements you provided were off by even 50mm, the design may need to change. A wardrobe designed for a 2.4m wall that turns out to be 2.35m may need a narrower door or a filler panel — both of which affect the quote.
2. Design or Specification Changes
Deciding mid-project that you want an extra drawer, a different door finish, or a pull-out shoe rack will change the quote. This is normal and expected — but it should be priced and approved before the change is made, not discovered on the final invoice.
3. Site Conditions
Uneven walls, unexpected plumbing or electrical runs behind the wall, damaged skirting, or an access problem can all add work. A reputable carpenter will flag these during the site measurement and requote before proceeding.
4. Delivery or Access Constraints
If the wardrobe cannot fit through the building's lift or stairwell, it may need to be split into smaller modules (more joins, more labour) or carried manually (more labour cost). This is worth checking before fabrication, especially in older Dubai apartment buildings.
5. Work Outside the Original Scope
If the quotation covered “supply and install wardrobe” but you later ask for a new socket, wall patching, or painting touch-ups, that is additional scope — and should be quoted separately.
How to protect yourself: Ask for a written “scope of work” document alongside the quotation. It should list exactly what is included, what is excluded, and how variations will be handled. Sign it before any deposit is paid.
How to Request a More Accurate Wardrobe Quote in Dubai
The quality of the quote you receive depends largely on the quality of the information you provide. Here is exactly what to prepare before contacting a wardrobe company:
What to Prepare
- Photos of the wall: Take 3–4 photos — one wide shot of the whole wall, one close-up of each end, and one showing the floor and skirting.
- Rough measurements: Measure the wall width at the floor, middle, and top. Note the ceiling height. Mark these clearly as estimates.
- Door preference: Hinged or sliding? Mirror panel wanted? If unsure, say so — a good carpenter will advise.
- Internal storage wish list: How many drawers? Long hanging or short hanging? Shoe storage? Lighting?
- Your Dubai community: This helps the company plan a site visit and check building access.
- Any constraints: Existing wardrobe to remove? Sloped ceiling? Tight lift? Mention it upfront.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wardrobe Cost in Dubai
There is no single fixed price. A fitted wardrobe cost in Dubai depends on its dimensions, carcass material, door system, finish, internal fittings, hardware, site conditions, and installation scope. Two wardrobes with the same external size can receive very different quotations if their specifications differ. Request a specification-based quotation for an accurate figure.
The main cost factors are wardrobe width, height and depth; straight, corner or walk-in layout; carcass and door material; door finish; number of drawers, shelves and rails; hardware quality; wall condition; and whether delivery and installation are included.
Not always. A built-in wardrobe is made to fit the room and usually includes design, fabrication and installation, while a freestanding wardrobe is portable and sold in standard sizes. A built-in unit can cost more upfront but may use space more efficiently and look more integrated.
It depends on the track system, door material, panel size, mirror or glass content, and hardware quality. A basic hinged door can cost less than a premium sliding system, while a large mirrored sliding door can cost more than a simple hinged door. Compare equivalent specifications before deciding.
A clear wardrobe quotation should state dimensions, carcass material and thickness, door style and finish, hardware specification, internal fittings, delivery, installation, exclusions such as wall or skirting work, VAT, payment schedule, timeline, and warranty terms.
Photos and rough measurements are useful for an initial discussion and preliminary estimate. However, a site measurement is usually needed to confirm wall condition, access, exact dimensions, and the final scope before a binding quotation is issued.
