Call contractors before you know exactly what you're building, and every estimate will be based on different assumptions. Figure out the scope first so you're comparing real numbers.
The lowest estimate isn't always the best deal. If you don't know what's included, or what's missing, that number doesn't tell you much.
Renovation decisions build on each other. Make them in the wrong order, and you can end up changing something you already paid to have done.
