Also a builder. I would be prepared to pay for a comprehensive proposal and take this into consideration when asking 3 builders to bid. (3x$?). It takes many many hours of prep complete a "bid". If the homeowner has the right negotiating attitue--They get the best service and price. I agree with Joseph, I interview the homeowner just as much if not more than they are interviewing me. My advice...I would lose the "I'm getting 3 bids" mentality--it hurts more than it helps. Interview and do your research and then trust the process and your comfort negotiating with the builder.
