Keep in mind turnkey companies do get bulk discount from their subcontractors and vendors, some company pocket the discount for themselves, some company pass onto the discount to their customers and offer a great price.

Like any investment, I always want to be mindful to not act on emotion. 

If any contacts come to mind I will try and connect you. 

Keep in mind even their prices can vary widely, and until you have more experience, it will be hard to differentiate between reasonable and not.

Hopefully, you've approved a bid they submitted, so the cost is fixed - unless they can document the need for acceptable change orders.If they are charging hourly, then, yes, they may be able to charge you more the longer it takes.Keep in mind, your PMC is unlikely to have an exterminator and other licensed contractors on staff.

If you don’t mind my asking, what PMS do you use?
