Signal Criteria

Contact

This is a reading resource rather than a business, and it does not run a contact desk.

Not a Contractor

Nothing here is an offer of service. Hiring somebody is a separate matter the reader arranges directly with a local firm.

How to Choose a Firm

The usual checks are still the ones that matter. Put the same written specification to every firm, so the prices that come back are actually comparable.

Accuracy Over Time

Published guidance is reviewed and amended over time. Standards change, materials are discontinued, and prices move, and a guide that has not kept up is actively misleading rather than merely stale.
