I’ve already spent months working on a budget, searching the big box stores websites, online auction sites, etc. and have a pretty good idea of what my materials cost should be.

With metal cabinets, foam-roller painted in Rustoleum, dark gray.

Specifically the current competitive rates for new construction trades and materials (e.g. foundation, framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, trim carpentry, painters, tile work, brick layers, roofers). 

I fixed her fence and roof for her because I felt badly about her loss (I had tools and material out there anyway to remodel my building).

Put 20k into it (10k labor and 10k materials) and now its looking to sell for 220k.   

He currently has about $10,000 cash and about $20,000 in credit "Home Depot line of credit for materials."

My contractors grab material at will and use text2pay.

At this time I have a very good quote for approximately 8,000 not including permits or materials (Kissimmee Contractor). 28,000 without permits, but it does include materials (Lake Placid Contractor).

The formal work bid that comes from him will need to show an itemized break down of the total cost of repair between labor and materials. 

I have been experiencing awful conditions as a buyer, expected to pay record low cap rates AND accept giant material defects, quickly and with cash!
