Tip 3 for saving money when building under $350k: get multiple bids.
This one sounds simple, but it can make a big difference. Before you lock in every part of your build, get at least 3 bids when you can.
Saving $1,000 or $2,000 on one part of the job may not seem huge by itself, but when you do that across several trades, it can add up fast.
The goal isn’t always to pick the cheapest option. It’s to understand the pricing, compare the scope, and make sure you’re spending your budget in the right places.
