Put the dialogue in the correct order.Ułóż dialog w odpowiedniej kolejności.
- The time limit is very short.
- I think you need to compare this bill of quantities with the documentation very carefully, because it happens that a cost estimator sometimes makes a mistake and omits some cost item.
- Yes, he did. We were sent the investment cost estimate together with the technical documentation. Now I will have to make a tender cost estimate.
- Of course. Mistakes happen, Annie. But I think that the settlement of this contract will be based on the as-built bill of quantities, which is prepared on the basis of the quantity survey of works.
- Yes, I am. This morning I got the technical documentation to read.
- Did the investor send an investment cost estimate?
- Yes, I have, but it’s not certain yet. The tender is to be held in one month.
- Are you going to prepare the tender documentation?
- Yes, I know. But I have the investment cost estimate, so I can use the bill of quantities on the basis of which it was drawn up.
- Karol! Have you heard that we have a very large order for a new route between Łódź and Konstantynów?
