Remodel blindspot Question
32
Do you know what documents - like architectural plans, structural drawings, or written instructions - you should have before asking contractors for formal pricing?
Why It Matters
Contractors price what they can see. Clear drawings and written notes turn your ideas into measurable work.
The Downfall
If you don't know what documents are needed, you'll get vague quotes that balloon once details emerge.
Do It Right
Learn the basics - plans, elevations, schedules, and written specifications. These are some of the documents that form the foundation of a fair, apples-to-apples bid.
