## Questions

### Does the course give me a price for my cellar?

No. Prices depend on the room, the scope and the place. The course shows how to compare written quotes. It does not give a vendor price.

### Does passing the exam mean a builder is approved?

No. The certificate of completion records that you passed this site's exam. Choosing a builder is your decision, based on your own checks.

### Do I need technical skills?

No. The method uses questions, documents and a written brief. A designer or architect can help with the drawings.
