You don't need it to ensure you are not ripped off, if you shop around then market forces will lead you to the best price for what you want done. Yes, over the years I have provided detailed cost breakdowns on commercial and government jobs but that was for the purposes of managing progress claims and only after the tender has ben won. As a builder I would be suspicious of a customer wanting this level of detail (red flags come up) and would simply decline to quote or put extra margin for the perceived risk of dealing with potentially difficult customer. The customer runs the risk of getting bogged down in detail, loosing the focus of the big picture and risking a blunder. You need to focus your energy on the things that matter. All you need to do is: 1 Know exactly what you want (and don't change your mind half way through the build) 2 Make sure you can afford it 3 Shop around and find the product you like and compare with competing products, then shortlist 4 Negotiate hard with the preferred builder, making sure they know you are talking to others 5 Make sure you have pre contract review, then independent inspections during your build Asking for cost breakdown isn't going to put any dollars in your pocket but it could loose you plenty. Probably one of the best posts I’ve ever read on this forum.
