Two tiling quotes can look alike and still describe different work. One includes skirting and haul-away. The other is sticking tiles only.

What to check besides the price

• What is included and what is clearly out
• Who supplies materials, and at what quality
• How many work days, and when they can start
• What happens if the site adds work

Put both quotes on the same project, with the supplier name and the amount. Then you are not approving a file that lives only in email.

Choose, then close the scope

After you choose, send the supplier one short note: what was approved, what was not, and when they start. Keep it next to the budget.

A short comparison before approval avoids an extra in the middle of the job and a fight about what was “included”.
