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 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.
