Frequently Asked Questions
Tendering - What is the process should Sandec be successful in securing tendered works?
We will attend a pre-start meeting between the client and our experienced operations team. This meeting will discuss your project programme, time frames and needs. You will receive our operations & maintenance manual, RAMS, booking in procedures, training manual, and other supporting documentation. You can then book in your first plots with our operations team and our trained installers will attend site as and when required.
Tendering - What’s the best way for me to price up your products?
Several factors will determine the pricing of our products and services, including order quantity, site accessibility, and requirement of parts. Please get in touch with us for a quote tailored to your specific needs.
