Why quotes vary
- • Finish level: the same kitchen footprint can honestly triple in price from builder-grade to high-end
- • Allowances: lowball material allowances are the #1 source of budget blowups — compare allowance line items, not just totals
- • Scope completeness: the cheapest bid usually omitted something; make all bids itemize the same scope
- • Permits and engineering: structural work carries real fixed costs that small jobs feel disproportionately
- • Payment schedule: money should follow milestones — never more than 10–30% down
