- The provision of a Performance Bond cover is not included and not something that Firma Ltd offers.
- Our professional indemnity cover is £5million

- Our Employers liability cover is £10 million.
Design
- This quotation is based on drawings submitted to Firma Ltd and may be subject to confirmation following site dimensions and further information provided by the client.
- Where drawings are submitted to the client for approval and signed approval is not returned within 7 days, it may be assumed that the drawings are acceptable and that manufacture can commence unless specifically arranged with Firma Ltd in writing.
- It is the client’s responsibility to ensure that local building regulations and special requirements are complied with. Where the specifications appear to indicate part compliance, consideration should be given to the suitability of any non-complying details.
It is the sole responsibility of the Main Contractor to ensure that all Firma Ltd drawings, specifications, designs, materials, finishes, etc., are approved by their client.
Delivery
- Delivery and inspection: – All goods should be inspected on receipt of order. Any claims should be made in writing within 24 hours.
- Whilst every effort will be made to satisfy the client’s project completion date, delivery dates are made without obligation. The client accepts they will have no claims against Firma Ltd for failure to deliver goods by any specified date and that late delivery will not provide grounds for cancellation of any order for goods specially obtained for their order.
Offloading and Distribution of Goods
- It is assumed that a suitable lifting facility, forklift or telehandler is made available by the customer for Firma Ltd for the unloading of materials.
- Deliveries that require special lifting facilities to be provided may be charged at an amount of £650.00 per delivery.
The Site
- Firma Ltd may progress design based on architects’ and engineers’ drawings in the absence of site dimensions. In this instance, the client needs to understand that on-site adaptions and additional labour and materials may be required. This may also lead to unforeseen delays in the programme.
- Basic concepts and sketch details can be agreed upon ahead of the site survey to facilitate the drawing approval process.
- It is assumed that the customer will provide site dimensions. Should Firma Ltd be required to provide a survey, this will be chargeable at £480.00 per survey, unless agreed otherwise.
- It is the client’s responsibility to notify Firma Ltd of any site changes after the site survey has taken place.
- Whilst every care will be taken by our operatives during design procedures, Firma Ltd cannot accept responsibility for costs relating to faulty installation of our product.
