The information that turns an idea into a proposal.

You do not need a perfectly drawn project to start. It helps to distinguish what you know, what you want and what requires checking on site.

1. Describe the change, not just the material

“I want to divide the living room to create an office” gives more context than “I need drywall”. Explain the current space, its future use and your objective. For noise or thermal comfort, describe where and when you notice the issue.

2. Gather indicative measurements

For a partition, note its length and height. For a ceiling, provide approximate area and current height. For a lining, identify the affected walls. Label initial measurements as approximate: they help assess the work and do not replace the necessary checks before installation.

3. Show the context

An overall room photograph and views of junctions, windows or services are more helpful than a single close-up. Avoid including people, documents or private information. A simple plan can show which wall changes and where doors are positioned.

  • An overall view of the space.
  • Junctions with the floor and ceiling.
  • Doors, windows and fixed elements.
  • Visible details that may affect the work.

4. Clarify finishing and related work

Ask which finishing stage is included and whether painting is separate. Doors, lighting, electrical work, removal of existing elements and protection of the space must be expressly included when part of the job. Prices are not comparable if they cover different scopes.

Check the unit of each item too: area, length, individual units or an overall job. Agree how quantities are measured and how openings are treated. Compare the total amount and applied tax as well as the unit price.

5. Review the version you will accept

Check dimensions, materials, included tasks, exclusions and agreed conditions. If you change a door, reinforcement or finish, request an updated version. At NIVAREL, commercial proposals receive technical review before sending; acceptance should refer to the scope you have actually chosen.
