No. You can speak with us while drawings are being developed. The more complete the scope and specifications are, the more clearly the construction work can be described and priced. If important details are still open, we can identify what needs to be resolved before a proposal is finalized.
The property location, any available drawings, a description of the work and your main priorities are a useful starting point. It also helps to tell us which decisions are still open and whether you have already engaged a designer or other consultants.
The proposal and contract should state which drawings and specifications are being used, what work is included, and any allowances or exclusions. Review those documents together rather than assuming every item shown or discussed has been priced.
A change should be reviewed in the context of the agreed scope. Depending on what changes, it may affect materials, trade work, cost or schedule. The contract should explain how proposed changes are documented and approved.
A general contractor often needs to coordinate construction questions with the owner’s design team. If you already have drawings or a designer, bring that information to the first conversation so the roles and communication process can be discussed.
The schedule depends on the scope, readiness of the drawings, site conditions, approvals, material availability and decisions made during construction. A meaningful timeline should be developed for the specific project rather than taken from a general estimate on a service page.
