These items concerned the disassembly, installation and assembly costs. The prices in these items for the costs of repairing the damage items more than replacement. No depreciation applied for these items as they concerned the labour cost. We reviewed Item 1 being the labour cost. We appreciate that the work has to be undertaken by specialist trained technicians and taking this into account, we considered the costs to be reasonable as stated and in line with the work rate.
Item 3 refers to other costs such as recovery charges and paintwork. The backhoe damaged must to paintwork because the colour of backhoe was scratch while during slip into the sandpit. We found that the recovery and removable cost for remove the backhoe damaged from the loss location to the repair centre. The cost in this item was necessary and reasonably stated, thus we accepted the claim for these works.
