The quotation stays manual
Commercial EICR pricing is a manual quotation.
Hotels receive a site quotation reflecting the installation, access and agreed testing window.
Use the installation’s recommended inspection date, risk assessment and applicable requirements to plan the next inspection.
What the inspection is about
The inspection covers the fixed installation in the extent that is agreed.
Plug-in equipment in guest rooms is not that fixed installation.
Which board supplies a floor, a kitchen or a plant room is read from the board and its circuits, not from the number of guest rooms.
Facts that change the plan
List the guest rooms, public areas, kitchens, laundry and plant rooms that someone can actually open for this hotel.
Say which parts stay occupied, and which supplies the site says must stay on.
Name the site contact who can agree the order of the visit.
Agree working hours, room access and any guest arrangements with the hotel manager before the visit.
Areas
Guest rooms, public rooms, kitchen, laundry and plant, where they exist and can be opened
Occupation
Which parts stay in use during the visit
Supplies

Contact

Use the commercial enquiry
Send that list with the commercial EICR enquiry. The quotation is prepared from those facts, not from a published hotel rate.
Make the hotel quotation fit the operating building
Bedrooms, kitchens and guest-facing spaces can need different access arrangements within the same property.
Rooms and occupancy
Explain which guest rooms can be made available and how room access will be coordinated.
Shared and service areas
Identify reception, corridors, kitchens, laundry and plant areas intended for the inspection.
Continuity needs
