Are You Getting The Right Price For Your Trusses?
Here are 5 simple questions you should ask, when you request a truss quote. If you don’t get these questions answered upfront, you may find yourself facing change orders and problems down the road.
-
Will all the pages of The Architecture/Engineering Plans you provided for the Bid, be shown on the Contract/Proposal? This insures you are getting a Hard Number for what the Architect and/or Engineer designed or intended.
-
Will Special Conditions, Loadings, Wind Loads and Building Code be shown on your contract/proposal?
-
Will you be provided with a Preliminary Plan prior to Sealed Plans and Engineering’s?
-
Will you be provided with Final Truss Plans and Truss Engineering’s for approval prior to fabrication?
-
Will you accept changes made to your Architect or Engineer’s Plans? Consequently this will cost you money to have your plans revised and re-submitted to the Building Department. If No, than never, ever accept a contract/proposal that states your truss are bid, per the truss company’s layout; make sure bid is based on the Architect/Structural plans provided.
This was a definitely extremely beneficial post. In theory I’d wish to write like this also – getting time and actual effort to make a terrific piece of writing… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and by no means seem to obtain one thing done.
