Excerpt from Homes of Moderate Size: A Collection of Photographs and Plans of Modern Suburban and Country Homes, Following the Colonial, Italian and English Architectural Styles, and Arranged Accordingly
The specifications should of course be very carefully prepared. Specifications that are ambiguous, or repeat, are likely to make the house cost more than it should, for the contractor, if he is in doubt, will add enough to be safe. The specifications should be clear, concise, complete and supplement the working drawing and details.
The architect knows the contractors and who's who among them, and can save the owner a_ great deal of money by judicious selection. If competitive bids are called for, the contract should be given to the lowest bidder, for none should be asked to esti mate on the work unless he is competent and responsible. It costs the contractor money to figure on work, especially if he is to give a careful estimate. One often hears the remark, It does not always pay to give it to the lowest bidder. The qualifications of the contractors should be looked into before they are allowed to bid, not after.
