When to Open a New Job

Open a new job whenever we decide to quote a new job or whenever we receive documentation relating to a new job that we are likely to quote or do. This is to ensure all our documentation on file so that it can be backed up, shared,  and responded to in a timely fashion.

How to Open a Job

1. Add the job to our job list.
3. If the project involves ANY type of excavation on site for so much as a tent peg, run a Dial Before You Dig enquiry and save all of the emails received to the DBYD subdirectory in the job folder. Determine whether the scope of work affects the existing underground infrastructure before quoting or designing the job.
