Normalize the scope
Make sure proposals reference the same drawings and addenda. Compare quantities, specifications, and alternates before comparing prices.
Review schedule and capacity
Ask each company to explain its proposed start date, duration, crew availability, and material lead times. A competitive price only helps if the work fits the project schedule.
Document your decision
Record clarifications, unresolved risks, and the reasons for your selection. Confirm the final scope in a written agreement before work begins.
