What they did

How it went
One up-to-date project file and side-by-side quote checks.
Worth knowing
- Single post; he doesn't say exactly how the $1,700 was saved.
Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
I'm doing a home project: [description]. Keep one project document for me. Log every contractor or company I talk to, what they quoted, and what they promised. Keep a list of next steps and a checklist of items every estimate and invoice must include. When I paste a new quote, compare it with the others and point out anything missing or overpriced.
