Free Printable Subcontractor Bid Comparison Sheet — 3 Bids per Trade PDF

Three bids on every trade — the variance is the negotiation

Lowest? column flags the cheapest, but My pick + reason is what matters — sometimes the mid-bid wins on schedule, references, or insurance.

Always confirm license + COI + references before signing — a low bid from an uninsured sub is a future liability.

Different from Compensation / Offer Comparison (`/career/compensation-offer-comparison`): same shape applied to construction trades rather than job offers.
