Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost?
Nothing for the condominium. You only pay the company the meeting chooses, the amount of the approved quote.
Do painters visit the building?
Yes. Nobody quotes a building from photos alone. Say when visits are easiest and who can let them in.
I am a resident, not the manager. Can I ask?
Yes. Often it is a resident who brings the quotes to the meeting. Just say so in the request.
What if the meeting has no date yet?
No problem. The quotes stay on your request page and you can download the pack whenever you like.
