A FICTIONAL USD EXAMPLE
Full home renovation: three prices can describe three different scopes. This matches the worked example in the Excel tool. Add estimates for missing work before comparing the totals.
| Scope / cost | Contractor A | Contractor B | Contractor C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quoted price | $72,000 | $78,000 | $82,000 |
| Demolition | Included | Included | Included |
| Waste removal | Excluded | Included | Included |
| Electrical work | Excluded | Included | Included |
| Joinery and cabinetry | Allowance | Allowance | Included |
| Surfaces and flooring | Excluded | Included | Included |
| Estimated additions | $14,300 | $2,100 | $0 |
| Adjusted estimate | $86,300 | $80,100 | $82,000 |
Contractor B has the lowest adjusted estimate in this example. Confirm unclear scope and assumptions with each contractor; an adjusted estimate is not an agreed price.
