Agree how the gate or lobby handles residents, visitors and access enquiries using the society’s own procedures.
Define the gates and posts to cover on each shift, including weekends and handover requirements.
Clarify the process for delivery arrivals, service providers, domestic help and vehicle entry without disrupting residents unnecessarily.
Nominate a society contact and agree what is recorded and when the guard should escalate an issue.
Duties, personnel and availability are confirmed in the agreed assignment scope.
PICTURE YOUR REQUIREMENT
A society with two gates may keep one entrance open overnight while operating both during the day. A private residence has a different visitor pattern. Explain how the property is used so the scope reflects the real daily routine.
WHAT YOUR QUOTATION MAKES CLEAR
Location, assignment dates, duty hours and agreed coverage period.
Personnel type, number of agreed posts and any stated preferences.
Agreed duties, contact points and any site or event instructions.
Rates, taxes where applicable, validity and the agreed payment terms.
A BETTER FIRST CONVERSATION
SERVICE QUESTIONS
Yes. State the hours and gates or posts needed on each shift. Continuous cover, weekly-off arrangements and relief requirements should be made explicit in the proposal.
The property or society provides the authorised policy. R CORPS discusses personnel duties and coordination around that policy.
YOUR NEXT STEP
You do not need a finished brief. Start with the general location, dates and what you need covered.
FROM ENQUIRY TO AGREED SCOPE

Discuss personnel, duties and the practical details of the assignment.
Understand the scope, rates, applicable taxes and commercial terms.
Confirm personnel, timings, duties and the nominated coordinator.
Agree supervision, reporting and how scope changes will be handled.
