1. ESTIMATES
- All estimates are valid for 60 days from the date of submission unless otherwise noted.
- Estimates are based on quantities, conditions, and dimensions supplied by the Client.
- For installation conditions, DHI assumes sheetrock with adequate blocking unless otherwise stated.
- Installation into other substrates (e.g., concrete, metal, tile, stone) will incur a 20% surcharge.
- Following the initial site visit (typically a Measure & Site Report), DHI will issue a Sales Order that reflects final quantities, confirmed substrates, and any deviations from the estimate.
- The Client must approve the Sales Order in writing before production or installation scheduling can proceed.
- Trip charges are quoted as all‑inclusive of travel, transportation, and standard expenses, unless otherwise noted.
- Estimates assume unrestricted, timely access to all required rooms or areas during the designated trip time window. Delays caused by the Client or property may result in additional charges.
- Pricing does not include electrical work, drywall repair, painting, or other trades unless specifically noted.
2. TRIPS, SITE ACCESS & SCHEDULING
- Changes to trip dates must be communicated at least 10 business days before the scheduled trip.
- Changes or cancellations made with fewer than 10 business days’ notice may result in the Client being billed for up to 100% of the expected trip charges, including lost labor revenue.
- For service-only orders, the Client is responsible for ensuring all products are on-site, complete, and ready at the time of installation.
- DHI is not responsible for missing or delayed product shipments.
- Additional time on-site due to missing, damaged, or late-arriving products will be billed at standard service rates.
- When DHI sources finished materials, DHI will be responsible for delivery timing and quantities.
- DHI supplies standard installation hardware (anchors, screws, and common fasteners).
- All specialty or product‑specific mounting hardware (e.g., angle-iron, brackets, tiebacks, structural supports) is the responsibility of the Client unless otherwise noted.
- For occupied hotel properties:
- DHI requires a property‑designated escort for access to occupied rooms.
- DHI staff will not knock on or enter any room known to be occupied without the escort’s presence and authorization.
- If installation conditions differ from those noted during site visit / measure (blocked walls, hidden steel, obstructions, fire systems, unexpected conditions), DHI may pause work and request a change order.
3. PRODUCTION, LEAD TIMES & DELIVERY
- Lead times for fabricated products begin only after:
- Signed Sales Order,
- All specifications, fabrics, and approvals finalized, and
- Deposit received
- Lead times are estimates and not guaranteed. Supply chain delays, shipping issues, backordered materials, and vendor production issues are outside DHI’s control.
- Delivery dates are scheduled based on material readiness, crew availability, and project sequencing.
4. CHANGE ORDERS
