Contractor Quote Price-Spread Calculator

A big spread does not tell you which contractor is right. It tells you the bids deserve a scope-level comparison before you choose based on price.

A large spread can reflect scope, materials, assumptions, overhead, availability, or pricing strategy. This calculator does not determine whether a bid is fair or which contractor to hire.

Price spread is a trigger to investigate

When several contractors price the same written scope, a spread can still be normal. But as the gap grows, the odds increase that bids contain different assumptions, materials, exclusions, allowances, or timing.

After award, preserve the baseline

Once you select a contractor, keep the accepted contract amount and scope intact as the starting point in CheckMyRemodel.
