A fair, plain review of other contractors' proposals so you understand what is included and what might be missing.
Wall proposals can look very different. One may include drains and engineering and another may not. Prices and scopes vary, and it is hard to know what you are comparing. A second opinion helps you read the details. Owners in Nashville bring us proposals to understand what they mean and what questions to ask.
We review your proposals, drawings and photos, with your permission, and walk the site if helpful. We check wall height and length, material, base, drainage, reinforcement, engineering, permits, haul-off, restoration and coverage language. We point out what seems complete, what is missing and what questions to ask the contractor. We do not bad-mouth other builders, and we are happy if you hire someone else with a clear plan. A good bid review leaves you with questions you can ask any contractor. We can write a short list for you, such as: what is the wall height and length, what stone sits behind the wall, where does the drain go, who is responsible for permits, what happens if rock is hit and how will the yard be restored. With those answers in hand, you can compare proposals more fairly and choose with confidence. We also explain common terms you may see in proposals, such as surcharge, geogrid, compaction and cleanout, so the paperwork reads like plain English rather than a puzzle.
