Terms & Conditions

Basis of a Construction Space Quotation

All Construction Space quotations are based upon the supply of a pre-owned building module shell only in its existing condition and configuration.

All Construction Space quotations include for the cost of loading the building modules onto transportation supplied by ourselves or by others.

Additional quotations for delivery and erection can be supplied but are subject to a site survey and there being no change in the conditions between the date of the survey and when the work is carried out.

All offers for pre-owned units are made subject to their availability at the time of order unless an official order and non returnable deposit has been accepted in writing by Foremans Ltd, to secure the building.

Any other items of work including the full fit out of the building can be provided but will be subject to a separate quotation and order.

Foremans Ltd reserves the right to charge for storage and associated costs if the despatch of the unit is delayed beyond the agreed date by more than two weeks.

All goods are insured under RHA conditions while in transit if Foremans undertakes the delivery of the building to your site as an extra.

The building is guaranteed against water ingress for a period of 3 months from the date of handover, subject to Foremans having erected the building on site. If the building is erected by others, then no guarantees will be given.

On the basis of our current workload we anticipate loading of the building onto transportation will commence within a 5-10 day period.

In the event of any disputes arising, no contra charges will be accepted unless we have been given the opportunity to resolve the issues at the company’s cost.

The building and all associated work remain the property of Foremans Ltd until the purchase price has been paid in full.
