The confirmation of the estimate can take place in three ways:

-Payment of 50% of the total budgeted to start the work and the balance will take place at the end of the instrument

-Payment of 20% of the total budgeted to start the work and the balance will take place in 4 installments without additional costs with deadlines of 30-60-90 days from confirmation and 4th installment in pay at the end of the instrument.
