The subject-specific need
Compare offers with matching duration, duties and visit counts, then check what each price includes. The lowest number alone does not explain service scope or additional terms.
An options comparison sheet
Send the same brief to each provider and record duration, duties, supplies, timing and exclusions for every option. Mark unwritten terms as needing clarification.
Working checklist
- Use the same duty list when requesting offers
- Ask about included and excluded costs
- Keep the written offer before deciding
Applying the checklist
If one option includes the first duty and another excludes it, do not record them as equivalent services. Align the comparison scope before reassessing cost.
Are we comparing the same scope and duration?
Write an answer specific to your home, then add the duty, its location and review time. Use this table during discussion; it does not replace an offer or contract.
| Duty | Location | Review time |
|---|---|---|
| Use the same duty list when requesting offers | ||
| Ask about included and excluded costs | ||
| Keep the written offer before deciding |
Boundaries to confirm
Do not treat prices from a previous offer as applying to every customer or area; ask about availability and terms.
