The low end is a straightforward job with no surprises; the high end covers complex scope, premium materials or urgent timing.

For Fredericton, ask a provider to put that in writing with the quote. ### How many quotes should I get for childcare? Two or three written quotes are enough to see the real market range. Compare the same scope side by side, and ask each provider what is excluded and what would change the price after the quote is accepted.
