How Construction changes the note

Words that land here include bid, RFI, retainage, punch list, GC, change order. Words that work: bid, RFI, retainage, punch list, GC, change order. A thread that ignores bid follow-up that dies, subs who go dark, and paperwork that lags the jobsite reads like every other vendor bump.
