Get Apples-to-Apples Bids and Hire the Right Trades
When you're the owner-builder, every trade is its own hire.
When you're the owner-builder, every trade is its own hire. Build Sherpas doesn't build and doesn't hire trades for you. You are the general contractor, and we help you compare bids and make confident choices. Hiring a GC instead is fine too. We can still review the bid in practical terms.
How we help
Scope sheets: a clear written scope so every bidder prices the same work.
Bid comparison: lining bids up side by side so you can see what's in and what's missing.
Questions to ask: schedule, crew, warranty, payment terms, and change orders.
Checking a contractor and paperwork habits
Checking a contractor on L&I: registration, bond, and insurance.
Paperwork habits: written contracts, change orders, and lien releases. Use an attorney for legal review.
