Compare WPC quotations on the same complete installation scope. A low board price says little about the cost of a usable, maintainable terrace.

${u.keyPoints}

  • Identical scope
  • Explicit exclusions
  • Same maintenance period

Practical method #

Prepare one schedule covering boards, supporting structure, clips, edges, delivery, unloading, installation and waste removal. State whether prices include tax and whether access equipment is allowed for. Ask each supplier to identify exclusions and substitute products explicitly. For a courtyard refurbishment, include temporary pedestrian routes and staged working; these can change the installation cost without changing board quality. Compare maintenance assumptions over the same period, without treating warranty duration as guaranteed service life. Resolve unclear items before selecting a supplier.

Planning and verification #

Compare complete systems for the stated use, including supporting structure, connections, drainage and maintenance access. Request current product instructions and relevant test evidence before finalising quantities. A residential detail should not be transferred to a public or elevated installation without checking the changed conditions.

Handover and maintenance #

Record the selected profile, batch, approved drawings and maintenance owner. Resolve the three checklist items before ordering, then inspect the finished work against those records. Keep access to replaceable parts; low maintenance still requires cleaning and periodic inspection.
