What You Do |
What I Do |
|
You advise me of any items
that, at this time, you know you will provide (light
fixtures, appliances, sinks, fans, etc) for
incorporation into the house. You also indicate if
there are any specific quality of items (such as tile)
that you want used in the house. |
My preferred contractor prepares a
bid for the construction of your home. The bid
will have "standard" costs for all items that you have
not indicated a specific preference or indicated that
you will provide. |
|
You wait patiently for me
to present the bid to you. |
I work with
the contractor to ensure that the bid is fair and
reasonable. If the cost should exceed your cost
objectives I will work with you and the contractor to
get the bid within your cost objectives if at all
possible. I do not quote a low price and then
ask for additional dollars later in order to finish the
project. |
|
You review the bid with
me. |
I review the
bid with you and make changes as mutually agreed.
This process continues until a final cost is agreed
upon. |
|
You agree on a final bid. |
I prepare a
contract which identifies the responsibilities and
actions of all parties, the contractor, you and I.
The contract provides for progress payments and
inspections by the owner. The contract is a three way
commitment providing for all parties to work together
for the success of the project.
 
|
|
You sign the
contract. |
The contractor and I sign the contract and provide
signed copies to you. We then proceed to the
Construction Phase. |
