About This Course
The contractor you choose is the single biggest variable in your renovation outcome. Materials can be swapped. Designs can be adjusted. A bad contractor is a much harder problem to solve.
Part 2 walks you through the complete contractor selection process, from building a shortlist rooted in referrals, through a structured seven-question interview, to comparing bids on equal terms and making a final decision based on evidence rather than gut feel.
What you'll be able to do by the end of this course:
- Build a shortlist of 3 to 4 qualified candidates from the right sources
- Run a structured interview that reveals how a contractor actually operates, not just how they present
- Get quotes that are directly comparable by sending every contractor the same written scope
- Identify the red flags that should end a candidacy before you sign anything
- Review a contract and know exactly what needs to be specified before you sign
- Manage communication, documentation, and quality control through every phase of construction
- Make a confident final selection when two bids are close
