What should a site survey cover to justify price differences?

Choosing Quality Technology Solutions Over the Cheapest Quote · 2026-08-23

A site survey should map your existing setup and outline your future needs. It looks at cabling, network topology, room layouts, power, wireless coverage, security and AV placements, and any site constraints that could affect installation or safety. The survey then links those findings to recommended brands and configurations that fit your site and lifecycle. It should document testing plans, configuration steps, required documentation and training, and how the system will be supported after go-live. Price differences usually come from how deeply the survey defines scope and risks: what’s included or excluded, the amount of testing and commissioning, lead times and labour, and whether post-install support is included. A fair quote should clearly spell included work, exclusions, and expected delivery times, so you can compare on outcomes as well as price.
