Bid Completeness Score
The lowest price is usually the least complete. Check what your bid actually includes and see what scope is missing — those left-out line items come back later as extra cost.
Check every item that's actually in your bid. Unchecked items are the scope most likely missing.

Likely missing — ask about these
- Tear-off / demolition of damaged materials
- Debris disposal & haul-off (dumpster, dump fees)
- Permits & inspections
- Detach & reset (fixtures, cabinets, HVAC in the way)
- Code-required upgrades (ice-and-water shield, GFCI, egress)
- Drying / water mitigation (for water losses)
- Containment & dust protection on occupied units
- Daily cleanup & final cleaning
- Paint of adjacent surfaces (so it doesn't look patched)
- Firm unit pricing & quantities (not allowances / lump sums)
- Workmanship & materials warranty
- License, liability & workers-comp insurance
- A realistic timeline / schedule

In 26 years of reviewing estimates, the 'cheapest' bid almost never stays cheapest — it's the one that left out debris haul-off, permits, code upgrades, and detach-and-reset. When those items surface mid-job, they arrive as change orders, and by then you've lost your leverage.
This is a quick check. To reconcile your actual bids against one complete scope and see the true cost of each, upload them free on BidsScores.
