Use this as an organizational check before signing. Confirm unclear items with the contractor in writing and verify legal, licensing, insurance, permit, and contract requirements that apply where you live.

Compare the actual scope, not only the total

Contractors can reach very different totals because they made different assumptions about materials, labor, repairs, permits, finish quality, and owner responsibilities. Mark what each proposal states before treating the prices as comparable.

Resolve expensive unknowns before award

Focus first on categories that could materially change the job after signing. Ask bidders to clarify those items in writing, then compare using the same assumptions.

After the hiring decision

CheckMyBids is intentionally pre-hire. Once you award the work, carry the accepted scope, contract amount, allowances, and payment milestones into CheckMyRemodel so the live project stays anchored to what you actually agreed to.
