How does invoicing/payment work for most Water Supplier projects in Elgin?
Every project differs, but you should ask any water supplier for an estimate, before they do any work. In fact, ask for their general payment terms before any water delivery services work is done.
If the job is large and going to take longer than a day, it's common practice for water suppliers to request a down payment. Usually, this will be around 25% so they can commence work on your water supplier project.
If it's a quick job, you'll likely be given an invoice/bill when the job is complete. Then it's up to you and the water supplier to determine if you pay immediately or can send payment at a later date.
What should I check for once my Water Supplier in Elgin has finished working?
Every water delivery services project is going to have different results, but here are a few things to check for once any water delivery services company has told you they've finished the job:
- Obviously you want to do a visual inspection. Even if you're unfamiliar with water delivery services work, this gives you the opportunity to ask questions (even basic ones like, what did you do?).
- Ask the water supplier to describe what they did. Whether your water delivery services project was a repair job or a building job, have them run you through what was done.
- Compare the description provided on your water delivery services project estimate to the work completed. Did the professional do what was promised?
- Request that the water supplier do a follow-up visit to check on the work. Most professionals are willing to do this, especially if you ask them.
