AI Analyzes the Differences

An executive summary in plain English — written for homeowners, not contractors.

Executive Summary
  • Builder A is the lowest-cost option at $185,000.
  • Builder B includes the most complete scope — including appliances and premium finishes.
  • Builder C offers the fastest schedule at 6–7 months.
  • Builder C excludes permit fees, cleanup, and appliances — these will likely become change orders.
  • Builder B is the only bid that already includes appliances.

Questions BuildRight Recommends Asking

The right questions before signing a contract — so there are no surprises later.

High Priority
  • Are permit fees included in the contract price?
  • Who is responsible for daily cleanup and final cleanout?
  • Are appliances owner-supplied or contractor-supplied?
Medium Priority
  • What cabinet quality and brand assumptions were used?
  • What countertop allowance is included per square foot?
  • How are change orders priced and approved?
