If the work requires Design (See Figure 1 of Case Study 3, for minimal design requirements and Figures 1 and 4 of Case Study 4 for major design requirements including Case Study 4 - planting designs) then the next Site Visit after the 7 days cancellation notice has expired will discuss that requirement and a site survey will be carried out before an Overall Design Plan is produced for a later Site Visit. Payment will be required for the Site Survey, the time taken to create the Overall Design and the Overall Design Plan. Once the Overall Design is approved, then further detailed plans and costings of Materials/Labour Time from those plans will be done. Each costing will be agreed before work on site is started.

Otherwise if no Design is required, the Materials/Skip or other External Costs will be agreed before work on site is started.
