FAQ

Common quote questions

Can I get a quote before a site visit?

Yes. The online quote is a starting estimate based on visible product, area and scope details. Final project details are reviewed before booking.

Can I upload a floor plan?

Yes. The floor plan tool can help estimate the flooring area when manual measurements are unclear or inconvenient.

What should be clear before final confirmation?

Product range, measured area, main inclusions, preparation items, stairs and trims should be clear enough to review before the final quote is confirmed.

Can Operon review an existing written quote?

Yes. The quote review page checks whether product, area, inclusions, exclusions and final project details are clear enough to compare.

Start with the right path

Use the guides, then move into the quote flow

The guide hub should help customers choose the next action, not just read more pages. Start a quote when you know the project direction, check an existing quote when you already have written scope, or use a floor plan when area is still uncertain.
