Our written commitments, and what happens if we don’t keep them

Bad surprises on a renovation almost always have the same causes: an unexpected extra, a price that moves, a payment requested too early. Here is what we commit to, in black and white.

Commitment 1

No extra cost without a signed variation order

Any work not included in the quote is presented to you in writing, with its price, before it is carried out. Nothing starts without your signature.

If we don’t keep itWork carried out without a variation order signed by you is not invoiced.
Commitment 2

The price you sign is the price you pay

For every item included in the quote, the price is fixed: it does not change during the works.

If we don’t keep itAny increase not covered by a variation order you signed is not invoiced.
Commitment 3

Nothing is due before a stage is done

Each payment follows the schedule in your quote and only becomes due once the stage is finished and verified by your project manager. You follow everything online.

If you have a doubtSomething looks unfinished? Tell us before paying: your project manager comes back to check it with you.

Commitment 4

Common areas protected, site kept clean

The common areas used by the works (entrance, staircase, lift, landings) are protected and left clean.

If we don’t keep itCleaning redone at our expense within 48 hours.
Commitment 5

An answer within 48 business hours

During the works, your project manager answers each of your questions within 48 business hours, by phone or in writing.

Commitment 6

A written schedule, and told of any delay

You receive the works schedule when you sign. If a delay appears, you are told as soon as it is known, with its cause and the new schedule.

On top of the law, not instead of it

What French law already guarantees you

These guarantees are mandatory for every building contractor in France. We list them so you don’t mistake them for our commitments.

1 yearCompletion guarantee

All defects reported at handover or during the following year must be repaired (garantie de parfait achèvement).

2 yearsEquipment guarantee

Equipment that can be removed without damaging the building (taps, radiators, shutters…) must work (garantie biennale).

10 yearsTen-year liability

Damage that compromises the building’s soundness or makes it unfit for use (garantie décennale). Insured with Entoria.

A commitment isn’t kept?

Tell your project manager first. If the answer doesn’t satisfy you, write to La Plateforme des Travaux, 1 rue Marguerin, 75014 Paris, France, or call +33 1 89 62 99 95. Your single contract is with us: we answer for it, not a subcontractor.

Three quotes for your project, one contract, one contact
