ASAP. It is very important that there is ample time so that the Project is planned and designed on time, since it makes the best use of the budget, and it saves a lot of money.
The cost is determined by the size of the project and the services requested by the customer. Once the size of the project is outlined, PKD makes its financial offer quotation.
Upon completion of the project management phase! This will be calculated in strict numbers, even with recorded gain from the cooperation!!! Immediately afterwards there will be measurable profits (functionality, concept, energy & resources savings,) and non-measurable profits (positive customer feedback, high safety in the areas of hygiene, work environment, etc.).
PKD makes sure that the financial and technical specifications of the equipment are set according to the optimum operating system, the requirements of the European regulations on hygiene, safety, food control and, of course, the budget set for the project.
Once the compatible offers have been presented and assessed, then the final choice of the supplier belongs to the customer.
The final choice will always be appropriate because it will meet all the specifications set AND satisfy the end result.
The financial arrangements are entirely between the customer and the equipment supplier. Our duty is the assessment of the suppliers’ offers and the equipment delivery supervision on the customer’s behalf. PKD HAS NO INVOLVEMENT IN THE FINANCIAL SETTLEMENTS BETWEEN THEIR CUSTOMERS AND THE EQUIPMENT SUPPLIERS.
It is NOT independent. The aim of such a "Free Study" is the sale of specific equipment directly linked to the products represented by each supplier and not the exclusive need and profit of the project in 100%.
It does not ensure thebest purchase choices for the specific budget.
It is NOT "free". It is always included in the final total project value.
