How a fixed number holds through a renovation

Change orders are the biggest trust wound in construction. Here is how Webster prices a job that does not need them.

The change order is the trust wound

Most renovation stories that end badly follow the same script. The bid was low. The scope was loose. And three weeks in, the number moved.

How we do it differently

Every quote is a fixed number for the scope you agreed to. If site conditions or a requested change would move that number, you hear about it before the work happens — not on the final invoice.

  • One price, one date
  • Change orders only for genuine discoveries
  • Written impact and approval before any additional work

"No surprise at the end." That's the review we're working toward on every job.

What this looks like on site

You get one point of contact. You get a photo update every evening. You get a written status every week. Nothing gets buried.
