Quotation vs. benchmark
A complete project should explicitly cover each scope below or document why it is excluded.
Three viable bills of quantities at the same site spec. Budget-safe trims optional spend without breaking life-safety scopes.
Highest CapEx; lowest lifetime risk.
Best value at audited spec. Default recommendation.
Never strips ATS, BMS, earthing, labour, or warranty.
Unit price KES 5,400,000 vs. KES 4,950,000.
Unit price KES 18,500 vs. KES 17,200.
