@Bruce Woodruff so it is better to walk the project with the GC and explain to them what is needed and let them write the SOW?

@Nicholas L. I totally agree with this. New investor have little leverage. That's why I will pay a contractor to provide me with a detailed bid. Also, the contractor will buy all the materials including the finishes that I choose.

Baltimore contractors/investors, where are you purchasing your finish materials in bulk, other than Home Depot and Lowes?

@Denette R. however, if you choose them for the job they will credit it back to the project.

@Denette R. this is great information. Thank you, a couple years ago a GC had charged me $300 to do a bid which wasn't an issue. If you don't have an established relationship with a GC, I find they will charge you for a detailed bid.
