Bound to get inaccurate quotes or get the short end of the deal

You can't TELL them what you want!!!

You need to get in writing what you want sketch out the lot, draw the plants with sizes etc.

hand it each one then you're getting bids on same work

Be mindful that a $20,000 job has a cost includinding overhead of about $10K

So negotiate.
