When property owners are ready to select a bid from three or more proposals, how do they do it? Usually three answers come up: the cheapest, a friend's recommendation, or the fastest. Each of these criteria may or may not bring you a successful project completion. However, a few other factors are important to consider.
Eight Criteria for Making a Decision:
1. Cost: Is the projected cost fair and competitive?
2. References: Are there testimonials for the quality and service provided?
3. Efficiency: Can the work be scheduled in a timely way, including permits, permissions, and inspections to proceed legally and including weather conditions that ensure quality?
4. Reliability: Will the contractor do what it takes to get the job done right through completion and project approval?
5. Competency: Can the bidder explain to you what needs to be done and how, so that you understand and agree with the plan of action?
6. Credibility: Does the bidder have updated and paid-up insurance and other requirements for operating in your city, county, or state?
7. Accountability: Will the bidder take full responsibility for the performance of the labor?
8. Value-added: Will the bidder offer any extra value for your business, such as a blog site for informing customers or free bids?
