Why Multiple Bids May Not Work For Big Construction Projects
A major home remodeling or renovation project is a huge undertaking and is probably one of the most important decisions you’ll ever have to make as a homeowner. The choices you make early on in the planning stages can affect you and your family for many years to come so hiring the right company is absolutely crucial if the investment in time, money, and effort are to be worthwhile.
During the course of this process, you have probably heard about the three-bid rule. While this rule works for smaller jobs like replacing old gutters or installing a new deck, it may not necessarily be applicable to large-scale projects.
So how many bids should you take? As a premier custom home builder, we get asked this question a lot. Allow us to shed some light on this all-important question.
How Many Bids To Consider and Why
We at Sadler Building Corporation firmly believe that for large-scale projects you should only consider bids from the two top companies in your area. The reason why homeowners are advised to get multiple bids for small projects is to get the best possible value without sacrificing quality but for a major home renovation, there are many other things to consider since the work to be done has a much larger scope.
Most remodeling companies will take several weeks to come up with a design and it is impossible to compare bids based on price alone unless you are comparing the exact same design. Your home is your largest investment and a wiser consideration to take into account is who you choose to work with.
Look for a builder with vast experience and knowledge, a proven track record of excellence and customer satisfaction. Look for someone with integrity and the ability to find innovative solutions to keep your project within budget and on schedule. While the two bids you receive may vary widely price-wise when you choose the right one based on your needs you will end up with much better results.
