  • Major Changes. Changes exceeding 20% of the project value require a revised or separate proposal. Work will not proceed until approved.

Proposals must be accepted within 14 working days, or they may be withdrawn.

The Client has 7 working days to approve or provide written feedback. If rejected, corrections will be made within 14 working days. The revised deliverable will then be subject to a further 7-day review period.
