Price methodology
How a record should qualify
- 1. Identify the exact unit. Type, size, condition, location and date must be recorded.
- 2. Separate scope. Unit, delivery, crane, taxes and conversion work should not be mixed without explanation.
- 3. Verify the source. Supplier evidence and the observation date should be retained internally.
- 4. Review outliers. Damaged units, special equipment and urgent deals should not distort standard categories.
