letter to martyn about quotes

hi martin ,
first of all ,thank you very much to both you and matt for the speed with
which you have managed to get all the works going ,its been a huge help
,and geting all the funding sorted so fast was only possible with your
cooperation ,
after our last conversation ,you were going to mail me to help understand
the quote comparison between the nov 19th quote ,JNT858A ,OF £8045 for 4
domestic supplies from the sse pole ,and the present job quote which ,with
the templewood quote and garys quote seems ,and i may have this all wrong
,to add up to
£5200 west cott, east cott, park lodge.
£1200 park farm house
£4900 templewood
tot £11300.
so the addition of one industrial unit, en route ,, and a shorter line of
cabling than was proposed in nov ,seems to be costing £3255 more, can you
help me get to grips with how this all works?
in the event of a claim on the previous supplier , it would be usefull to
have a complete understanding of why the two quotes are different.
thanks martyn,
regards
robert


and his reply.....


Dear Mr Burnett The quote JNT858a for 4 supplies was a completely different route and didnt take into account any commercial supplies. A smaller cable was quoted for because it didnt warrant a larger cable for the 4 supplies and distance. The quote which has been accepted requires a larger cable due to the extra load of the commercial supplies Regards Martyn





so not a lot of info there ,but i think tonally a bit 'dont ask me about this ' ish .it doesnt really sound very logical to me ,but,at least its all in .
