The Real Cost of a “Fast Quote”

The “Fast Quote” Trap:

  • The Underbid: A contractor gives a low price just to get the contract signed, knowing they haven’t looked at the full scope.
  • The “Surprise” Billing: Once the work starts, you receive constant “change orders” and price increases.
  • The Budget Buster: Your Association ends up paying significantly more than the original quote, often leading to unplanned Special Assessments.

The Common Ground Approach: Accuracy Over Speed

We do things differently. We provide clear, fixed pricing that stays firm unless your scope of work changes.

To ensure this accuracy:

  1. We Do the Homework: We conduct a thorough site survey to identify potential hidden issues.
  2. We Coordinate with Experts: For complex projects, we get firm numbers from our specialized partners (like electricians and plumbers) before we quote you.
  3. No Moving Targets: We align your maintenance needs with your actual budget and Reserve Study.

It may take us a little longer to finalize your estimate, but it’s because we are committed to price protection—ensuring the price we give you is the price you pay.

Disclaimer: Common Ground Maintenance provides fixed-price estimates based on visible conditions and known project scopes. While we strive for total accuracy, costs may adjust if the client requests a change in scope or if hidden structural issues are discovered during production. We are a maintenance firm, not a financial or legal advisor; please consult your professional partners for budget and compliance guidance.

Our Preservation Program aligns with your Reserve Study and ORS 100.175 to protect your building, your budget, and your property value.
