Hi Jojam,

Apologies for my late reply and if you've already had this information.

I would suggest that once the clients requirement go from a standard quote to production of an inventory, including tagging, that fundamentally changes things. As a nominal fee I would suggest to tag and list a tree would be £5 per tree (for instance), the associated work spec would probably be part of your 'free quotes' service, and perhaps the arrangement could be to discount that amount from the actual works on securing the job...sounds reasonable to me?!

Cheers..

Paul

Thanks for that paul,steep learning curve for us.I won't be cught out again.The client asked us to number the trees with spray paint-1,doesn't look very professional does it and 2,in a built up area i think there would be too many questions asked by passers by.So we opted for the subtle no nonsense tags.So i suppose it's my own pault as i wasn't asked to tag the trees.But as per your advice i'll charge next time after consulting or no tagging and walk away.:001_smile:
