What BidSift flags
See the differences before you commit to the lowest number.
Contractor quotes often hide the real tradeoffs in allowance language, exclusions, cleanup, and permit scope. BidSift puts those differences on one page.
permit gaps
missing cleanup
unclear allowances
vague scope language
hidden material upgrades
change-order exposure
Decision brief
Kitchen remodel comparison
Recommendation
Choose the quote with the clearest allowance list and the fewest exclusions, even if the headline total is not the lowest.
Missing scope
Permit fees, dust protection, and final cleanup are not explicitly itemized.
Hidden costs
Allowance overruns and change-order pricing can push the total up after the project starts.
Questions to ask next
- What happens if material allowances come in over budget?
- Which items are fixed price versus estimates?
- Who handles permits, haul-away, and final cleanup?
