So here is how I would set this up: Kitchen: Appliances - $6,000 Cabinets - $10,000Countertop - $70-110/sqftSink - $1,500Faucet - $500Cab pulls - $500 (or $6-10/pull) Install - $2,000Flooring: Floor product (unfinished): (expect to pay 4 - 10 dollars per board foot for anything quality) Floor finishing (sanding, coating etc) roughly $3/Sq ft (as long as you are using a standard coating (polyurethane) if you want to go higher end with an oil or stain expect this to jump to 4-5/sq ft Bathrooms:Demo: $/hour x expected hours Underlayment: Schulter Shower System (approx: 500/shower enclosure) Tile/grout/thinset: 6-10 sq/ftInstall: $3-6 sq/ft Lighting and Electric: (pricing includes installation)   Switches: approx $30/switch  (this assumes a mid range Leviton 3-way dimmer) Outlets: $10 (TR Leviton duplex, GFI where needed and duplex/USB combo in Kitchen Island and a few choice locations) Lighting:Surface mount approx $150/fixtureCan: approx. $250/fixture (assuming old work install by electrician)A little more on why I do it this way: Kitchen: You can figure out exactly how much your kitchen is going to cost before you start.

Build up to your demolition days and custom glass shower enclosures :)You are correct on the money side of things.  

Remove the metal awning, make a lattice enclosure for the trash can  if there is nowhere to put it already  and please make a proper oil tank enclosure (if I am guessing that is what is on the side of the house) in white to match the house.

Make sure the contractors understand they are responsible to remove snow to access their work.More cutting, prepping, etc. work will typically be done indoors so make sure you hire a contractor who likes to be clean and won’t turn the entire interior into a personal workshop/storage shed.Figure extra $$$ for temp enclosures and heat if you wish to do exterior painting, masonry, etc.It’s darker later in the AM and earlier in the evening so make sure you have a lot of good, temporary lighting so you can maximize the amount of time your guys are working when they are actually onsite.Planon missing a few days here and there due to a “snow day” when guys can’t make it to work due to a snow storm.

We bought a 50 year old asset and we were told we had to build a dumpster enclosure.  

Trail cameras and enclosures.

What type of enclosure? 

From that perspective, you may want to inform the resident that a 3-year old really should never be left unsupervised outside and that your fence was for privacy, not to be used as a protective enclosure.

We do have enough room to expand the trash enclosure to fit another bin.

It is dangerous time to be shopping for GCs - lots of the more established ones are booked out far into the future and lots of tail-gate contractors are popping up to meet demand.
