Free second opinion · Dubai, UAE
Most people cannot tell a fair electrical or MEP quote from a padded one, because the scope is technical and the number has no context. So they either overpay or argue blind. Send me the quote or the variation and I will give you an honest read on it, free, from someone who has priced this exact work for thirty five years.
What this catches
An independent read from someone not selling you the work catches the things the quote is counting on you not noticing.
Rates and quantities that look normal until someone who prices this work every year reads them. A quiet ten to thirty percent is common.
The cheapest quote is usually cheapest because of what it excluded. That gap surfaces later as a variation, when you have no leverage.
A contractor variation with no contract basis gets paid when nobody checks it. Checked properly, a lot of them shrink or disappear.
Free, no obligation
Common questions
Yes. The quick read on whether a quote or variation is fair is free, with no obligation. Only the full written one page read, if you choose to commission it, is charged, at a fixed AED 1,500.
An electrical, ICT or MEP quotation, a contractor variation or claim, or a tender you are comparing. A PDF or clear photos are fine. Owners and contractors both use it.
A straight verdict on whether the price and scope look fair, and what stands out. If you want it evidenced in writing, line by line with cost exposure, that is the AED 1,500 one page read.
