Contractually, a project delivered under the “General Contract” method can be procured through a bid or negotiated basis.
During the bid or negotiation process, Rhodes Building Company solicits pricing from multiple subcontractors for each trade involved in the project. Upon receipt of the subcontractors proposals, each is qualified to ascertain that a complete scope of work and an accurate cost has been provided. The qualified proposals are then compiled into a schedule of values which is presented to the owner for evaluation.
