No there are no hidden costs. At Yates, we present you with a guaranteed fixed price based on the construction drawings and specifications you have provided to us. Your tender price will only change if an allowance has been made for an item in the contract and you go over that allocated amount. Also any selection item that you upgrade or add will incur additional costs. Rest assured we will always notify you of any increase in the contract price.
