What Designers Say When Construction Bids Come In

We received the following email from a designer as bids were coming in for one of his projects:

This happens all too often.

There are two ways to counter this surprise:

  1. Study the cost of a nearby project that is of a similar size and scope.

  2. Invite a contractor to provide an estimate at the schematic design phase. This is before you do the engineering or apply for permits.

You can ask us at New Avenue – We are the system that manages payments for the entire project.
