# Confirm who is producing plans and specs (and what you get): drawings, selections, engineering if needed, and permit responsibility.
# Get clarity on pricing structure: fixed price vs cost-plus, allowance amounts, and the change-order process in writing.
# Ask for 2 to 3 recent references for projects similar to yours (same neighborhood type, age of home, scope, and budget range).
# Confirm jobsite management: who your day-to-day contact is, how often they’re onsite, and what communication cadence you’ll get.

If you tell me what you’re remodeling (kitchen, primary bath, whole-home, addition) and your rough budget range, I can narrow this to the best-fit 3 to 6 companies to interview based on that scope.
