• Be prepared to accept minimum quality when you deal with the lowest bidder.

• You will usually get a higher quality job if you choose your contractor based on confidence, trust and relationship - not just low price.

• The lowest price doesn't necessarily translate to the best price.

• If competitive bidding is so effective, why not take bids from architects, engineers, lawyers, and doctors?

• All contractors are not equal.  Some are much better than others.  The best ones usually make a higher profit margin and they should - they deliver a better completed project!

 Choosing a Contractor: A Checklist

• Look at both recent and past jobs.

• Talk to past customers.

• Check credit history and financial stability.

• Check payment reputation.

• Check safety record.

• Check litigation history.

• Meet with owners and the key employees who will be managing your job.

• Look at job control techniques.

• Ask the contractor to show evidence of using a TQM program that works.
