Contractor bid comparison
Compare contractor bids against one scope of work.
Use Rehab Estimator to keep the repair scope, cost ranges, and photos together before bid numbers start changing the conversation.
Why bid comparison needs one shared scope
Contractor bids are hard to compare when each contractor prices a different version of the job. One bid may include demo, haul-off, and trim. Another may only include labor for the visible repair. A scope-backed estimate gives each contractor the same reference point.

Not claimed as automated bid analysis
Rehab Estimator does not claim to automatically normalize contractor bids, detect every missing line item, or grade contractor quality. Use it as the scope record, then compare each bid manually against the same task list.
