How to use this checklist
- Compare included materials. Ask each contractor which supplies are included, which are allowances, and which are excluded.
- Separate homeowner purchases from contractor scope. Small supplies can be useful for planning, but project labor, warranties, permits, and code work should stay in the bid.
- Use the worksheet before choosing a bid. Open a quote comparison worksheet when the same item appears in one bid but not another.
