Distributing a comprehensive construction package, which includes detailed construction drawings and a specification manual, to multiple reputable contractors is our practice to obtain competitive pricing for a construction project. By sharing the same set of plans and specifications with each contractor, it ensures that they are all bidding on the same scope of work, allowing for an apples-to-apples comparison of pricing.
To ensure that the quotes received are accurately compared, a thorough analysis of each proposal is necessary. This analysis should consider various factors, including the completeness of the bid, the level of detail provided, the proposed schedule, and any exclusions or clarifications made by the contractor. By carefully examining the quotes received, you can make an informed decision about the best contractor for your project, based on both price and qualifications.
