Project location, trade scope, bid date and the drawings when available.

We read the drawings and scope, then let the general contractor know whether we’re bidding. Our proposals name the crew and days for each line and include a cost breakdown.

WHAT WE DO

We photograph tasks before and after so extra work arrives with its backup. We also mobilize on short notice for extra work, punch lists and closeout.

WHAT THE GC GETS

Sign-in sheets, daily logs and before-and-after photos support the extra work.
