Three different versions of the job.
When contractor proposals are thousands of dollars apart, the totals rarely tell the whole story. See what each proposal includes, excludes, and leaves unclear before you choose.

What comparison actually means
The same room can hide three completely different scopes.
This is the kind of difference a bottom-line price cannot show.
| Scope category | Proposal A | Proposal B | Proposal C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Waterproofing | Named system | Not specified | Hot-mop pan only |
| Tile allowance | $8 / sq. ft. | “Tile included” | $12 / sq. ft. |
| Electrical | Included | Owner responsibility | Not specified |
| Permit responsibility | Contractor | Not specified | Owner |
| Shower glass | Excluded | Included | Not specified |
Example only. Every finding in your review is based on the documents you provide.

What Aaron reviews
The details that change cost, responsibility, and risk.
A proposal can appear complete while leaving critical assumptions unresolved. The review creates one consistent structure across all of them.
- Scope included and excluded
- Allowances and unresolved selections
- Demolition, protection, and disposal
- Permits and trade responsibilities
- Waterproofing and installation details
- Payment schedule and change-order exposure
- Timeline assumptions and missing prerequisites
- Questions each contractor needs to answer
A clear, limited role
Independent information. Your decision.
The review explains and compares the written information provided. It does not select a contractor, guarantee workmanship, determine legal compliance, verify concealed conditions, or replace architectural, engineering, legal, or inspection services.
If physical site conditions need to be examined, Aaron may recommend a separate onsite Remodel Clarity Session.
