Questions to resolve before choosing
- Are both contractors pricing the same drawings, fixture schedule and finish selections?
- Who buys each fixture, receives deliveries and handles damaged products?
- What existing-condition repairs are included, excluded or carried as allowances?
- Who obtains permits and coordinates inspections?
- How are changes priced and approved before work proceeds?
- What payment is due before work, during milestones and after completion?
