What happens after you request a quote
We keep the process simple and clear, so here is what to expect after you send the form.
- We call you back. An engineer or coordinator calls within one working day to understand what you need, where the site is and how urgent it is.
- We book a survey. For most projects, we arrange a site visit at a time that suits you. Small, simple jobs can sometimes be quoted from photos and a phone call.
- We survey the site. The engineer walks the site with you, checks routes, power and existing equipment, and listens to your concerns.
- You receive a written quote. Within a few working days, you get an itemised quote with brands, quantities, scope, schedule and payment terms.
- We answer questions. We explain options, adjust the scope if needed and help you compare offers fairly.
- Work begins. Once you approve, we schedule installation and confirm the team and dates.
There is no obligation at any stage. In addition, the survey report is useful even if you decide to phase the work over time.
Information that helps when you request a quote
You do not need technical drawings to request a quote. Even so, a few details help us prepare well:
- the site address or nearest landmark, and also the type of building;
- what you want to achieve, such as covering a car park, controlling a gate or passing a fire audit;
- rough numbers, such as cameras, doors, data points, floors or rooms;
- any existing equipment, even if it no longer works;
- photos of key areas, such as the gate, the server cupboard or the ceiling;
- your preferred timeline and any deadlines.
If you are not sure what you need, then simply describe the problem. Our engineers will suggest options during the call.

Site surveys: where and when
We arrange site surveys for projects within Nairobi and nearby towns, including Kiambu, Ruiru, Thika, Kitengela, Machakos and Syokimau. Survey terms depend on the size, location and scope of the project, so we confirm them, including whether a fee applies, when we book the visit. For sites further away, such as Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru and Eldoret, we combine surveys into planned trips. Our service areas page lists the towns we cover.
In general, surveys take one to three hours, depending on the size of the site. Larger campuses, factories and hospitals may need more time or several visits.
What each quote includes
Every quote you request from GS TechGuard is itemised and transparent, because clear quotes build trust. It normally includes:
- equipment by brand and model, with quantities;
- cabling and containment, with cable type stated;
- installation, testing and commissioning;
- configuration, training and documentation;
- warranty terms for equipment and workmanship;
- schedule, payment terms and validity period;
- clear exclusions, such as civil works or third-party licences.
As a result, this level of detail lets you compare offers fairly. If another supplier's quote looks much cheaper, check whether it includes the same items. Our security systems price guide explains typical ranges and what moves a price.
After-hours and urgent work
Some sites cannot stop during the day, such as hospitals, factories, shops and busy offices. If that applies to you, mention it when you request a quote. We can plan evening, night or weekend work and explain any effect on cost. For urgent security needs, such as a broken gate system or a failed recorder after a break-in, we prioritise the call and try to restore protection quickly before planning permanent work.
Payment and timelines
Naturally, payment terms depend on the project size. Small jobs are usually paid on completion. Larger projects typically use a deposit, progress payments and a final payment after handover. We agree terms clearly in the quote, with no surprises later.
Installation timelines also vary, because every site is different. A small CCTV or access control job may take a day or two. Office fit-outs, fire alarm installations and multi-system projects take longer and are often phased. We give you a schedule with the quote and keep you updated as work progresses.
How to request a quote for several systems
Many clients need more than one system, for example cameras, access control and a UPS, or cabling, Wi-Fi and a server room. In that case, request a quote for everything at once. One survey then covers all systems, and the design shares cable routes, racks and power backup, which lowers the total cost. Moreover, a single schedule avoids several contractors working in the same ceilings at the same time. If budgets are tight, we split the quote into phases so you can approve the most urgent work first.
For developers, architects and contractors
If you are planning a new building or a major renovation, involve us early. We can review drawings, mark conduit routes, power points and data outlets for security, fire, network and AV systems, and provide budgets for tender documents. As a result, the systems arrive in a building that is ready for them, without surface trunking or costly changes after handover. Simply request a quote and mention that the project is at design stage, then share drawings by email.
For maintenance and support contracts
You can also request a quote for maintenance only. Tell us which systems you have, roughly how many devices and how many sites. We then arrange an onboarding audit, after which you receive a contract proposal with visit schedules, response times and prices. Our IT annual maintenance contracts page explains how these agreements work.
Your privacy
When you request a quote, we only use your details to respond to your enquiry and prepare your proposal. We do not sell or share your information with marketers. Read our privacy policy for details on how we handle personal data, in line with Kenya's Data Protection Act, which the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner oversees.
Tips for comparing quotes
When several quotes arrive, compare them line by line rather than by total. Check that each lists brands and models, cable types, storage days, testing, training and warranty. Also ask who will support the system after installation and what that costs. Finally, ask for references. A careful comparison now usually saves money and frustration later.
Why clients request a quote from GS TechGuard
- One team for security, network, fire, AV, power and weighing.
- Clear, itemised quotes that make comparison easy.
- Tidy, tested work with documents you keep.
- Support after handover, from the same people who installed the system.

Frequently asked questions
How quickly will you respond after I request a quote?
We aim to call you back within one working day. Urgent enquiries received early in the day often get a same-day call. Contract clients with faults should use the support line in their agreement for the fastest response.
Is there a charge for the site survey?
It depends on the project. Survey terms vary with the size, location and scope of the work, and in some cases there is no charge. We always confirm the terms, including any fee, before we book the visit, so there are no surprises.
Can you quote from photos?
For small, simple jobs, such as a few cameras or a single door, we can often give an estimate from photos and a phone call. Larger or more complex projects need a site visit, so the quote is accurate and you avoid surprises later.
Do I have to accept the quote?
No. There is no obligation at any stage. You are free to compare our quote with others, adjust the scope or phase the work over time.
