Market Pricing & Comps Sourcing
Purpose
So decisions are grounded in current market pricing, not guesswork — and so we can justify what we paid.
Where to source
- Generally three vendor bids — these typically map to the three options in your 1-3-1.
- Supplier / retail pricing (e.g., Home Depot) for parts and appliances.
- Online research for typical cost ranges and lifespans.
- Our own GL history for what comparable work has cost before.
How to use it
Attach the comps to the Standard Approval Package so the recommendation is backed by evidence.
State / type variations
note
Pricing differs between CA and TX markets and by property type (commercial vs. residential). Note the market when recording a comp.
