Understand the proposal before you sign it.
S02 / 04
FAR Group helps homeowners compare contractor bids and identify meaningful differences in scope, pricing structure, and project terms.
Proposal clarity
The lowest number rarely tells the full story.
Residential proposals can look comparable while assigning different work, allowances, exclusions, materials, or risk to the homeowner. FAR Group reviews the information provided by competing contractors and organizes the differences so the homeowner can make a better-informed selection. Serving Columbus and the surrounding areas.
02
Allowances and exclusions
Identify allowances, owner-supplied items, exclusions, assumptions, and unclear responsibilities that can materially affect the final cost.
03
Payment schedule and change terms
Review proposed deposits, progress-payment milestones, retainage where applicable, and the stated process for changes or additional work.
04
Qualifications and proposal comparison
Organize available business, experience, reference, and insurance information and compare material proposal differences in a clear owner-side summary.
Owner-side role
Selection stays with the homeowner.
FAR Group provides independent review and practical observations but does not select, hire, warrant, or guarantee a contractor. The homeowner retains final contractor-selection authority, signs all contracts, and approves payments and scope changes. Review is based on the information made available and is not legal, architectural, engineering, or accounting advice.
