Chapter 10 — Understanding Contractor Bids

In this chapter, we are going to talk about one of the most confusing parts of the entire construction process for property owners.Contractor bids.Now honestly…This is the stage where many owners start feeling overwhelmed very quickly.Because suddenly they receive multiple proposals…With different prices…Different language…Different assumptions…Different exclusions…Different timelines…And different levels of detail.And naturally, the owner starts asking:“How can these numbers be so different?”“Why is one bid so much lower?”“Why is another so much higher?”“Which one is actually correct?”And the truth is…Many times the bids are not actually pricing the same project.That is the real issue.And once you understand that, contractor proposals start making much more sense.If you want additional planning tools, team evaluation resources, or guidance for your project,visit:goEasyProject.com/beforeyoubuildit
