When you’re needing some retic work done in your garden, the best thing to do is research recommended reticulation companies, and gather a few quotes, right? If you’ve ever had to get quotes done, you’ll know that it’s never quite that easy.
Are all quotes the same?
Well, no, not really. The truth is that there is no law in retic. Anyone can do whatever they want – and they often do! Problem is, comparing quotes might end up being like a game of spot the difference – except many of the differences are hidden. Plus, do you make your choice based on price, availability or reputation?
The Mr. Retic Difference
Mr. Retic takes pride in doing all installation, repair and service work to the voluntary industry best practice guidelines. Our dedication to excellence is evident through our membership of IAL (Irrigation Australia), and status as a Waterwise Garden Irrigator (WGI) with the Water Corporation.
Factors to Consider When Comparing Quotes
To make an informed decision, ensure the quotes outline the total cost, including materials, labour, and any additional fees. Be cautious of extremely low prices, as they may indicate subpar materials or workmanship.
Have a look at the details of the project scope, such as the number of sprinklers, size of the area to be covered, and any additional services. Quotes should clearly outline what is included in the price. How accurate your reticulation quote is will also depend on providing accurate information on your property’s size, what you want done, and how easy it is to access areas that need work.
The Importance of Transparency and Communication
From experience, we know that many surprises can potentially pop up during the course of a job. Does the quote detail what happen when unexpected problems arise that would entail more work?
Here at Mr. Retic, we don’t quote for service or repair work to existing reticulation systems, as we never know what we will find. For this reason, we only provide quotes for new installs when all the info requested has been provided – size of area, what is needed, water flow rate, etc. If you have a strict budget to stick to for repairs, we ask that you let us know when booking a job. We can then prioritise and fix the most urgent problem, and let you know the costs to repair less urgent retic issues. Our pricing structure can be found here.
