HomeAdditionPlus.com introduces its Room Addition Bid Sheet. The Room Addition
Bid Sheet arms homeowners with the critical knowledge and information necessary
to properly plan and have constructed a new home addition. A key element of the
bid sheet is an extensive questionnaire that homeowners provide to prospective
general contractors for bidding the project. The bid sheet also includes a
separate project cost spreadsheet that homeowners can use to enter estimated and
actual material, labor, and/or subcontractor costs for every phase of the home
addition project.
The Room Addition Bid Sheet is ideal for homeowners who are
contemplating or planning to build an addition such as a family room. The Bid
Sheet is specifically designed to help homeowners in the soliciting of bid
proposals from general contractors.
The 29 page, bid sheet includes a request for proposal
(RFP) form that the homeowner submits to prospective general contractors for
them to complete and provide back to the homeowner for review. The RFP form
consists of over 160 detailed and specific questions on all aspects of building
a room addition.
In addition, the Room Addition Bid Sheet provides extensive
and critical advice to the homeowner on how to work with a general contractor
and sub-contractors in order to ensure the room addition project is completed on
time, on budget and to the satisfaction of the homeowner. It also includes an
extensive list of manufacturers for key products associated with room additions.
Specific Room Addition topics addressed in the bid sheet
include: Excavation, Foundation, Rough Framing, Electric, Plumbing, Heating,
Drywall, Insulation, Finished Carpentry, Flooring, Painting, Doors, Windows,
Driveways and much more.
In addition, it discusses Start and Complete Dates, and
provides estimated time intervals to complete specific trade activities. It also
addresses other topics such as Workman's Compensation and Liability Insurance
Coverage, Debris Disposal, Budget Allocations for Flooring and Appliances,
Reference checks and estimated building costs and payment schedules.
It also includes a separate Excel spreadsheet form for
entering your own construction costs estimates and actual costs.
"Whether your adding onto your home a family room, bedroom
or garage addition, it is critical that it is designed, planned and constructed
properly such that it aesthetically and functionally melds into the existing
home.", said Mark Donovan, President of DIY HomeAdditionPlus.com. “The Room
Addition Bid Sheet helps to ensure the home addition project is planned out
properly and the right general contractor is recruited. Hiring the right
contractor is critical in ensuring a properly built room addition."
