FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Practical answers to common questions about construction, renovation, quotations and project planning.
YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED.
Planning construction work involves important decisions. These answers provide general guidance; specific arrangements should always be confirmed in your project quotation or agreement.
ASK FOR A QUOTEGetting StartedHow do I request a quotation?
Use our quotation form, contact us by telephone or send a WhatsApp message. Share the type of work, property location, approximate size, preferred timing and any available photos or plans.
Getting StartedDo you handle both new construction and renovations?
Our advertised services cover new building work, extensions, renovations and property improvements. Contact us with the proposed scope so we can discuss whether it fits our available services.
PlanningWill a site visit be required?
That depends on the work involved. Some initial enquiries can be discussed remotely, while measurements, existing building conditions or more complex work may require a site assessment.
PlanningHow long will my project take?
Project duration depends on its size, complexity, site conditions, labour and material availability. A realistic schedule can be discussed after the requirements have been assessed.
QuotationsCan I receive a quotation before committing?
You can submit an enquiry and request a quotation. The team can explain what information or assessment is needed to prepare an estimate and whether any assessment fee applies.
QuotationsCan I work within a specific budget?
Yes, sharing your target budget early helps guide discussions about scope, materials and priorities. Feasibility and final pricing still depend on the project requirements.
MaterialsWho supplies the construction materials?
Material supply arrangements should be agreed as part of the quotation and scope of work. Ask which items are included, which are excluded and who is responsible for procurement.
MaterialsCan I choose my own finishes and fittings?
Clients can discuss preferred tiles, paint colours, fixtures, fittings and other finishes during planning. Suitability, availability and any price differences should be confirmed before ordering.
PaymentsWhat payment arrangements are available?
Payment amounts, deposits and milestones should be confirmed in a written quotation or agreement before work starts. Do not assume a standard payment schedule applies to every project.
ConstructionCan work take place while the property is occupied?
This depends on the type of work and its safety implications. Occupancy, access, dust, noise, utility interruptions and working areas should be discussed during planning.
ConstructionWhat happens if I want to change the scope?
Any proposed change should be discussed and documented, including its possible impact on cost, materials and completion time, before the additional work proceeds.
LocationWhich areas do you serve?
Frank & Cape Projects is based in Chitungwiza, Zimbabwe. Contact the team with your project location to confirm whether work can be arranged in your area.
