Why the lowest total can mislead
Cedar$34,499.57
EXCLUDED Electrical is not in this total and has no price.
Harbor$48,499.57
Electrical included: $6,500.00
Summit$55,500.00
Electrical included: $7,800.00
Why it matters
The totals are not like-for-like. Part of the gap is work Cedar left to a separate agreement, not savings. How much is unknown: nobody has priced it.
What to do next
Ask each contractor for the same written scope (electrical, cabinets, sink, finishes), then compare prices.
Stated bid totals and documented electrical lines only. Not a normalized price: Cedar’s electrical cost is unknown and is not estimated here. No savings, adjusted total, winner or ranking.
