Level the playing field with common game plan
Article Abstract:
Property insurance companies can lower their costs by adopting a more uniform approach to receiving bids from contractors. Currently, each contractor looks at the site, decides what needs to be fixed, and presents a bid. This leads to ununiform bidding. The insurer should present each contractor with a comprehensive list of items needed to do the job and detailed descriptions of what needs to be fixed. The low bid would always get the job, and all contractors would have to present relatively low bids to stay competitive.
