How Do You Ask for a Construction Bid?
When you ask a construction company to come out to bid a home renovation for you it is important to know that you hold the cards. They are not able to start putting together your bid until you give them the details. You need to be clear about what you want and what you expect with the project. This can be what room you want worked on or if you are adding a room to the house. You also need to be clear about the finishes and fixtures that you expect to see as well as a timeline in which you want the job done within. These are all the things that the construction company will need to know when determining what their bid will be. It is a great idea to have as much detail as you can before the company shows up.
Is a Construction Bid a Contract?
The other thing you need to know about a construction bid is that it is not a contract for work. The bid is a starting point so that you can look over the information and the cost and determine if this is the right path for you. The bid is made up by the company with the thought that they can complete the job in the time lone and for the price they bid. You should know that there are lots of variables that exist in construction that cannot be foreseen. This can cause the final construction contract to adjust as it goes along. Be prepared to understand that the final contract may be different.
What Should a Construction Bid Include?
You also want to make sure that you know what information is on the bid. This will include information such as the materials that will be used and the labor cost. The other information can be what fixtures and finishes that the construction company will be using. They may also send some of the work out to sub-contractors which is usually listed on the bid as well.
