The renovation quote is for many clients the first and most critical test of whether a given contractor can be trusted. At ARVION the quoting process is transparent, based on a site visit and detailed cost estimate - with no catch-all positions and no hidden costs. Find out how the process works step by step, what our quote includes and how the stage-payment system works.
Book a free consultationFor us, quoting an apartment renovation in Poznań is a multi-stage process with one objective - to provide the client with a cost estimate that reflects the actual scope of works and real execution costs. Below we outline the successive steps of this process.
We start with a conversation - by phone or email. We discuss the preliminary scope of the renovation, the type of property, the available schedule and any interior design in place. On this basis we arrange a site visit.
A project manager visits the property and takes detailed measurements and a technical condition assessment. We verify the scope of works, the materials standard and the specific characteristics of the unit. This is the only reliable basis for preparing a precise apartment renovation cost estimate in Poznań.
Based on the site visit and any available design we prepare a detailed cost estimate broken down by individual stages and scopes of work. The estimate includes material and labour positions - with no hidden costs and no ambiguities. The client receives a document they can analyse in detail.
After the client accepts the cost estimate we prepare a detailed work schedule with milestones and dates for successive stages. The schedule forms an integral part of the contract and is the basis for stage-by-stage settlements.
We launch the project on the basis of a contract with a clearly defined scope, schedule and financial terms. The contract specifies the responsibilities of both parties, the rules for introducing changes and the guarantee conditions. Only after signing the contract and agreeing the site start date do we begin preparation for execution.
A renovation cost estimate prepared by ARVION is a detailed document - not a vague, non-binding approximation. Below we indicate what every quote covers.
A detailed breakdown of labour works by stage and room
Material specification indicating which items are supplied by the contractor and which by the client
Work schedule with milestone dates and planned completion date
Stage-payment breakdown aligned with schedule milestones
Terms and scope of the workmanship guarantee
Rules for introducing changes during execution and their impact on the cost estimate
ARVION operates on a stage-payment system linked to schedule milestones. The client pays for what has been completed - not for what is yet to be done.
We do not require full advance payment at the project start. The payment schedule is agreed individually for each project and reflects the actual progress of works. Each stage payment is due after the completion and approval of a specific stage - documented photographically and confirmed by the client. This model gives the client full control over project financing and eliminates the risk of losing funds in the event of execution problems.
Every invoice issued by ARVION is linked to a specific schedule stage and scope of works. The client always knows what they are paying for and what works have been completed within a given payment. This approach differs fundamentally from the market practice where some contractors collect high advance payments at the start of a project without precisely defining what will be delivered for those funds. At ARVION every payment is assigned to a specific scope.
The more information the client prepares before the first meeting, the more precise and efficient the renovation quote will be. Below we indicate what is useful at the consultation stage.
A floor plan of the apartment or house - even an approximate one, with room dimensions
Interior design documentation or visualisations, if prepared by an architect
A list of rooms included in the renovation and the preliminary scope of works in each
Information about the preferred materials standard - standard, premium or luxury
Expected completion date - if determined by external factors
The initial consultation and site visit in Poznań and the surrounding area are free of charge. The detailed cost estimate is prepared after the property visit and we do not charge an additional fee for it. The client receives a complete document with no obligation on their part.
As a standard the detailed cost estimate is ready within 48 hours of the property visit. For projects with a broader scope or requiring analysis of design documentation this may take slightly longer - the client is informed in advance.
Changes in scope during execution are permissible and occur in every project. Every change is documented by a contract addendum specifying its impact on cost and schedule. The client approves the change before it is executed - no work exceeding the original scope is carried out without written acceptance.
The materials supply model is agreed individually. The cost estimate clearly indicates which material items are supplied by ARVION and which the client purchases independently and delivers to the site. A mixed model is also possible - the client purchases selected finishing elements (e.g. fittings, tiles) in line with the design, while ARVION supplies construction and finishing materials.
