Contractor question checklist
A one-page printable list to have in your hand on the phone or at the walkthrough.
When to use it
On the phone you will remember two questions. On paper you will ask all of them.
Asking the same questions of each contractor is the point — the differences in how they answer tell you more about how the job will run than the bid does.
What’s inside
- Questions grouped by money, schedule, who is on site, and what happens when it goes wrong
- Space to write each contractor’s answer beside the question
- The four questions worth asking every contractor identically, marked
Pairs with Red flags in a contractor bid.
When the bids come back, they still won’t match.
A shared scope narrows the gap. It doesn’t close it — contractors still price in their own order and leave their own things out.
