Homeowner provided materials – costs for things you supply. Most times these are items like kitchen appliances or something requiring a decorative selection. A great example is floor tile. Since shopping for tile usually requires a visit to a showroom, it makes the sense for you to buy the tile while you are there.
Not included tasks – not included in the project but will need to be done. For example, say we put in a new foundation for our addition. Most contractors will back fill in dirt and “grade” it smooth, but that's it. To finish this you may need topsoil, grass, bushes, and so on. Some homeowners might do this them- selves, while others hire their regular landscaper.
As you can see, your budget needs to be more than just the bid from the contractor for construction. There are other costs you need to address, as well. Your contractors' bid will tell you what is and isn't included.
