What to check in a hoarding quotation

Most outdoor disputes are not caused by bad sites. They are caused by a quotation that everyone read quickly and understood differently. Reading a quote properly takes a few minutes and saves a lot of awkward conversation later.

Check the site is identified precisely

A line that says hoarding in South Delhi is not enough. You want the exact location description, the direction it faces, the size, and ideally a recent photograph. Two boards at the same junction can perform very differently depending on which way traffic approaches them.

Check what the rate includes

• Is the rental for a calendar month or for a fixed number of days?
• Are printing and mounting included, or billed separately?
• Is electricity for lighting included?
• Are taxes shown separately or already added?
• What happens if you extend or shorten the run?

Check the dates and the proof

Confirm the start date, the end date, and how long mounting takes. Agree what proof you will receive, usually dated photographs from the site after mounting and periodically through the run. If you need a monitoring report, ask for it before you approve, not after.

Check the exit terms

Understand what happens if the site becomes unavailable, if the board is damaged, or if a civic authority requires removal. A fair quotation says what the remedy is, whether that is a replacement site or a pro rata adjustment.

How we handle it

Pricing shown on our listings is indicative and helps you compare sites. Final rates are confirmed in a private quotation after we check availability, since rates move with season and demand, particularly around festive periods such as Diwali.

The takeaway

Read the quotation as carefully as you read the site list. Clear inclusions, clear dates and clear proof are what turn a good site into a good campaign.
