We'll be closing on a condo in Scottsdale soon and have been exploring the cost for a rehab. This condo is approx 1000 sq ft, 3 bed 2 bath, and we plan to keep as a short term vacation rental. It needs a lot of work, except for 1 shower, basically everything needs to be replaced. Attached is an estimate from a local general contractor and I'm just curious how this sizes up compared to other estimates you've all seen - and if we'd be better off managing the project on our own and sub contracting specific parts out. Would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you so much.

You would obviously save money if you sub'd everything out but is it worth all of the gaps in timing? I would say overall this is a good quote. What is the timeline he can have it done by? The demo price is great, quartz counters (2 slabs im assuming? see if someone can do 1 slab) The flooring pricing is a little high if you pick $3 a foot for floors, $3 max to install, overall good quote but everything just a touch over what I pay.
