Start with the building record and confirm the general contractor. If the city publishes separate trade permits, check whether they refer to the same job. Ask about the work stage and crew window before estimating. For plumbing, clarify whether the GC wants a rough-in, trim-out, or a price for the complete scope.
If a new build fits your crew, ask: “Are you still taking bids for this trade? Who handles prequalification, and when do you need pricing?”
