Why Three Turkish Quotes for the Same Building Often Differ by 30%–45%

International buyers frequently receive three quotations for a 200 m² steel villa or a 1,500 m² steel warehouse ranging from suspiciously cheap to premium engineered—yet all three PDFs say *"Galvanized Steel Structure + Insulated Panels"*. In over 80% of cases, the price gap is driven by unwritten specification omissions rather than factory profit margin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Always before signing the proforma invoice or wiring an advance deposit. Once a 30%–50% deposit is transferred on a vague 1-page proforma, clarifying Z275 zinc mass, PIR core density or anchor bolts almost always triggers variation surcharges.
