ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area Will you please review my Proposal?

That one is perfect! I think the more you think about it you will come up with an endless parade of questions and what if's. I guess the bottom line is you must be comfortable with what you submit and hope you don't waste alot of time on something that turns out to be a wild goose chase.

Well, I did weed down the details a little and submitted it today. Changed the plans to show only one island receptacle and moved the cans (hihats) in the kitchen closer to the counters.

<cut to the chase>

They accepted the bid, all $11.5K of it, and will review the plans after Christmas to make any changes necessary. Most likely, I over-engineered and they will want fewer cans and three-ways, but we'll find out.

His only question was "No surprises?"

I assured him, no surprises, all change-orders in the last cottage were assumed in this one (HVAC, Smokes, Cable-TV, Phones, Water Heater {on-demand}, and photo-cell).

"Looks good" he said, shook my hand, and said "Have a Merry Christmas" and walked out the office door while dialing his cellphone.

Nothings signed yet, but it all looks good so far.

Good for you Virgil !

I agree with E-Scott, you need to be comforatble on the paperwork end.

Precise #'s call for specifics.

The only other way i see things done is via 'comparitables', per the GC's, which means just what it implies....they'll show you the last project{s} they've done and say it cost $$$ (sub's all lined up)

Congradulations, Virgil Sounds like you got it. Hope the Signatures come soon... Makes me feel good when someone gets a good break...Hope you have many more in the future
Steve.....

Don't get in a big hurry, they just broke ground for it last week.

And the official name of it is "Fairway 13"

I hope it's a "lucky 13"...
