        "text": "A contractor estimate is useful only when the scope behind it is clear. Compare demolition, disposal, design, permit coordination, rough plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile preparation, cabinetry, glass, fixtures, inspections, cleanup, allowances, and change-order terms. Context: design-build proposals may combine planning and construction, while other bids may separate them, making totals appear artificially different. Key factors: inclusions, exclusions, allowances, schedule assumptions, material availability, warranty language, and who coordinates inspections. Practical guidance: give each company the same plans and finish expectations, then ask each to identify unknowns. Request references for comparable primary bathrooms and ask how concealed damage is handled. Elite Remodeling & Design’s coordinated design and construction model can be evaluated by reviewing the complete scope rather than a headline price.",

Give every bidder the same plans and finish expectations before comparing prices."
