Information on the website should not be considered a formal quotation, contract, professional advice or guarantee of project outcome unless expressly confirmed by C-Tech in writing.

Submitting an enquiry through our website does not automatically create a contract between you and C-Tech.

An enquiry allows us to understand your requirements and determine whether our services may be suitable for your project.

Any project, quotation, scope of work, fees, programme or other contractual arrangements will be subject to separate written confirmation and, where applicable, a formal contract.

Any prices, estimates, timescales or project information provided during an initial discussion or through website communications are subject to confirmation.

Final costs may depend on factors including:

Project scope
Site conditions
Materials and specifications
Planning requirements
Building warrant requirements
Contractor and supplier costs
Changes requested by the client
Unforeseen conditions
Availability of materials and trades

A formal quotation or contract will take precedence over general information published on this website.

5. Planning and Building Approvals

Where C-Tech provides planning application, building warrant or related services, approval is subject to the relevant authorities and applicable regulations.

C-Tech cannot guarantee that a planning application, building warrant or other approval will be granted.

Where delays, additional requirements or changes are requested by an authority, these may affect project costs and timescales.

6. Construction Services

Construction work will be carried out according to the agreed scope, specifications, programme and contractual terms applicable to the individual project.

Project schedules may be affected by circumstances outside our reasonable control, including adverse weather, material shortages, supplier delays, authority approvals, unforeseen site conditions or changes requested by the client.

Clients should also:

Provide reasonable access to the property where required

Inform C-Tech promptly of any relevant changes to the project

Delays caused by unavailable information, access restrictions or delayed client decisions may affect the project programme.

8. Changes to the Project

Any changes to the agreed project scope may affect the price, programme or completion date.

Changes should be agreed in writing wherever reasonably possible before additional work is undertaken.

Additional costs resulting from client-requested changes or unforeseen conditions may be charged in accordance with the applicable project agreement.
