What if any are the implications?Phil 49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I believe the payment of a deposit is as good as signing a devis, so theoretically they have commissioned the work. I imagine there is a total cost listed on the devis, which would be how they worked out the deposit (I think this is normally 30%). Is the devis just for the installation or does the price given state the worker will also provide the tank, but they have just omitted to itemise the devis? A friend was recently given a devis for an extension to his house - this gave an overall price only, not itemising anything at all so maybe this is common practice. Good luck, Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunday Driver Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 You can find the legal procedures for devis estimates on the Public Service [url=http://vosdroits.service-public.fr/vosquestions/F11011.xhtml]WEBSITE[/url]If the project is going to cost more than 150 euros, then the tradesman must provide a devis detailing each individual component price and labour charge. The devis must be signed by the client as accepted. The payment of a deposit does not form part of this acceptance process.The devis/acceptance is not obligatory in the event of emergency works, eg burst water pipe.
