MILWAUKEE WI, USA,

Bidding new-construction paint from drawings leaves room for assumptions. Confirm these items first.

Key Takeaways

  • Confirm documents before bidding.
  • State assumptions on readiness and access.
  • Agree who protects finished surfaces.
  • Clarify punch-list ownership.

Documents

Gather drawings, finish schedules, specifications and addenda. Missing or changed documents are a common source of change orders.

  • Drawings and finish schedule
  • Specifications and sheens
  • Addenda and revisions

Site conditions

Conditions on site shape the bid. State when surfaces will be ready, whether power and lighting are available and what protection is needed.

  • When surfaces will be ready
  • Temporary power and lighting
  • Protection of finished floors

Responsibility

Responsibility for touch-ups and damage should be clear. Write it into the bid or contract.

  • Who handles touch-ups after other trades
  • How the punch list is recorded
  • Schedule dependencies

The more a bid depends on assumptions, the more those assumptions should be written down. List what you assumed about surface readiness, access and schedule, so differences are visible if conditions change.

Ask about protection too. Finished floors and fixtures are easy to damage, and agreeing responsibility in advance avoids disputes.
