Organize by trade and location
Break the property into meaningful scopes: demo, framing, roof, exterior, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, kitchen, baths, flooring, paint, trim, site work, and permits.
State finish level and owner purchases
Resale-grade product assumptions, appliance responsibility, fixtures, cabinets, counters, flooring, and hardware should not live only in your head.
Ask bidders to mark deviations
Require contractors to identify exclusions, substitutions, allowances, and assumptions instead of quietly changing the scope to fit their preferred approach.
Use the decision as the starting baseline
When you choose a contractor, preserve the accepted scope, price, allowances, and payment milestones. CheckMyBids is the pre-hire side of the workflow; CheckMyRemodel is where the awarded project continues when changes and payments start.
