• We treat each project individually and build our management fee on what’s required for that project. This is based on the number of plots or units which are to be built, what new connections are required, if there are any temporary builders supplies needed, etc.
• We have an upfront management fee for each project with no hidden charges.
• You will be fully aware of our involvement and what we will be reasonable for before anything is submitted to the utility companies.
• With regards to our management fee, we do not require payment straight away. Our management fee payment is due once all the quotations have been forwarded on to you and we tie up all payments at the same time as accepting the utility quotations.
