Questions to build a repair scope, estimate costs and test the result.

What Hovis can help with
Hovis can explain how to turn property conditions into a written scope of work and a repair budget. It can help you identify cost groups to investigate, but your estimate still needs property-specific inspections and local bids.
Questions to ask Hovis
- How do I estimate repair costs?
- What costs should I budget for the rehab phase?
- What should be included in a scope of work?
- How do I compare contractor bids for the same rehab?
- Which repairs should I confirm before I analyze the deal?
Get a better answer
- Give Hovis the market, property size, condition, planned finish level and each repair you can see.
- Separate known bids from rough allowances and say what an inspector or contractor has not checked yet.
- Use Analyze a deal after you have a repair estimate, and use the rehab documents in The Resources library.
