Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Can you work out of hours in Isle of Eigg?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Isle of Eigg offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Should external lights be on all night?
Not necessarily. Photocells with timers or presence sensors can keep routes lit when people are around and dim or switch off later, saving energy and reducing light spill.
