What the Review Identified
No Contingency Reserve
The project budget showed a $0 contingency reserve, creating additional exposure if unforeseen costs arise.
General Contractor Fee Not Included
The budget showed $0 for general contractor/project-management fees. Actual contracting structure and fees should be confirmed before relying on the total project budget.
Site Costs Require Verification
Site-work pricing relied on assumptions regarding grading, utilities and site conditions that should be verified once the property and actual conditions are known.
Window Package Requires Verification
The project included 42 window, slider and French-door openings. Actual manufacturer, series, sizes, installation requirements and final package pricing should be confirmed.
Finish Allowances Need Definition
Several finish categories used generalized quality descriptions rather than final selections or supplier quotations.
Potential Scope Items to Clarify
Additional items such as drainage, soils, radon, landscaping, exterior flatwork, low-voltage systems and other project-specific requirements should be confirmed as applicable.
