FHA 203K Tips – Contractors Bid and Work Write Ups

Contractors Bids

When you’re getting bids from contractors make sure the bid has a good description of the work to be done and a cost breakdown of the materials and labor involved.

If you receive a bid that is vague (lacking work details, labor and material breakdown) it will delay your loan so a clearly written out estimate would avoid any misunderstandings on what is expected and what is involved.

Here a sample of what you should be looking for when receiving a Bid from Contractor.
