Quick one before I price it the weekend shifts, are they at the after-hours rate or quoted separately?

ACAcme Constructions Today · 9:33am · Seen

Separately. Weekday after-hours is 1.5×, weekends are 2.0×.

Got it. And ROL coordination in scope, or excluded?

Today · 9:34am · Seen

ACAcme Constructions Today · 9:36am · Seen

Excluded for now. Price it as a variation if it turns out you need it.

Perfect that answers everything. Quote coming through today.
