Buildmax final budget review change

As of 11/1/06 all budgets sent to BuildMax for final review will need signed bids for the following items:

• Excavation
• Foundation/basement walls and slab
• Framing materials
• Framing labor
• Plumbing
• Electric
• HVAC

This new guideline is implemented to assure that real bids are being obtained, and thereby preventing cost over-runs!   Put your plans in front of 2-3 sub-contractors, using our bid-forms (contact me regarding this: cindy@buildmax.com ) in order to compare apples-to-apples, and thereby choose the “best” bid.. which sometimes is NOT the lowest.   The bid should indicate exactly what materials they will be using and how much, and IF they will hire additional subs to assist, those subs should be listed for you.

Bravo for checks and balances!
