  • disconnection and protection of the installation
  • disassembly, removal and segregation

What affects the bid

Set the unit as m², piece or m³ of waste - depending on the element and settlement method. All offers must use the same quantity and the same standard.

Surcharges and hidden costs

  • larger amount of waste than is indicated by the surface
  • manual removal and additional communication security
  • repair of elements damaged during uncontrolled disassembly

Where to reduce the cost

Reasonable savings:

  • segregate waste and plan transport in one course
  • leave elements that are technically good and do not block the project

Accept savings only after checking whether they do not shift the cost to labor, waste or later repairs.

Do not cut costs with:

  • on disconnecting the installation and securing the site
  • on controlled disassembly with elements to be retained

  • change of the standard after ordering or commencement of work
  • recognizing the reserve as free funds for extras
