Signing a fit-out contract is one of the most expensive decisions a business makes — yet most companies rely entirely on the contractor's numbers.
Contractors are not charities.
They are commercial organisations designed to maximise margin.
Common Hidden Issues
- Provisional sums that explode later — Vague allowances that become expensive variations
- Over-engineered M&E systems — Gold-plated solutions you don't need
- Design-and-build ambiguity — Who's responsible for what?
- Scope gaps that become variations — Missing items that appear as extras
- "Competitive" pricing that isn't competitive — No real market testing
