01 / UNDERSTAND THE MARKET
The location informs
the scope.
Chula Vista’s planned communities and business areas include Eastlake and Otay Ranch. Commercial and managed-property projects need a facility-specific description, the authorized representative and a clear statement of work.
Decisions to resolve before pricing
For an operating property, distinguish tenant access from construction access and identify work that must be phased. Provide available drawings and list equipment or systems requiring coordination with other contractors.
Separate the work packages.
Identify demolition and preparation, building systems, finishes and any recovery work separately. Ask each proposal to state assumptions, exclusions, the information still needed and the person authorized to approve changes.
