Monday, November 24, 2008:
HomeAdditionPlus.com announced today its Garage Addition Bid Sheet. The Garage
Addition Bid sheet is the perfect tool for assisting homeowners in obtaining
contractor quotes from prospective building contractors, and most importantly,
hiring the right one for the project. A key section of the bid sheet is a
comprehensive list of questions compiled in a "Request for Quote" checklist
format. Homeowners can use this section as a standalone Request for Quote
checklist to submit to potential building contractors for bidding the garage
addition project. Contractors complete the checklist and return
it back to the homeowner for their review. The bid sheet also includes a
separate spreadsheet tool that enables homeowners to estimate and monitor labor
and material costs throughout the life of the project.
The 25 page
Garage Addition Bid Sheet's Request for Quote questionnaire form consists of
over 100 questions on all aspects of a garage addition project. In addition, the
bid sheet provides critical and extensive information to homeowners on how to
work with a building contractor in order to ensure the project is constructed to
the homeowner's complete satisfaction, including budget and schedule. It also
includes a list of manufacturers for key garage products for the project.
Construction topics discussed in
detail in the bid sheet include: Site Excavation, Foundations,
Framing, Electric, Plumbing, Heating, Drywall,
Insulation, Flooring, Interior Finish Work, Painting and more.
In addition, the bid sheet discusses
Start and Complete Dates, and provides estimated time intervals to complete
specific project activities. It also discusses other key issues such as
workman's compensation, liability insurance coverage, budget allocations for
flooring and lighting, debris disposal, reference checks and estimated building
costs, and payment schedules.
In addition to the bid sheet itself,
a separate and extensive Excel spreadsheet document is provided for enabling
homeowners to plug in their own estimated and actual garage addition costs.
"The Garage Addition Bid Sheet aids
homeowners through the planning and construction phases of their garage addition
project. In addition, and most significantly, it walks them through the
selection process of hiring the right building contractor." said Mark Donovan,
President of DIY HomeAdditionPlus.com. "I regularly hear nightmare stories of
home addition projects that went awry due to issues such as unreliable
contractors and/or poor quality workmanship. The Garage Addition Bid Sheet helps
to ensure these types of problems do not occur by providing homeowners with the
tools and guidance they need to hire the right building contractor for their
garage addition project."
The Garage Addition Bid Sheet is
priced at $23 and can be purchased on
line at

immediately downloadable.
