Hug Construction
- Detailed, fixed bid contracts: No surprises, guaranteed budget.
- For example, if we quote $50,000 for a kitchen remodel, that’s the price you pay, barring client-requested changes.
- Cost-Plus vs Fixed Bids
- Open-book policy: We share detailed cost breakdowns, so you understand where your money goes. We can show you the cost of materials, labor, and permits.
- We provide a detailed schedule of payments that is tied to completed phases of the project.
The Other Guys
- Often rely on “allowances” that can lead to significant cost overrun. Clients frequently report final bills exceeding initial estimates by 10-20%.
- Cost breakdowns are often vague, making it difficult to track expenses and identify potential issues.
- Payment schedules that are not tied to project milestones, leading to paying for work that has not been completed.

- Hug performs multiple quality control walkthroughs throughout the building process.
The Other Guys
- Reliance on less experienced or lower-cost subcontractors, leading to inconsistent quality and potential shortcuts.
- Job sites are often messy, and disrespectful of your property.
- Client report cleaning up after the crew and managing the outhouse themselves.

The Other Guys
- Focus is on completing the job and moving on to the next project. As a result, clients often feel like just another number.

- They do not complete punch lists in a timely manner.
