Plus the materials list, with quantities.

3. A private budget

Go in knowing where the money goes

See the job broken into materials, labor, permits, and contingency before any bids come in. Contractors never see it, so it cannot anchor their price.

4. Then

Every bid prices the same job

Contractors bid on the same write-up, so you compare like with like instead of three different guesses. When you pick one, you pay milestone by milestone, and each payout is held until you approve the work.
