Request Custom Bid

Pricing built from defined reality, not guesswork.

What This Is

Request a Custom Bid is the mechanism for pricing work that cannot be fixed scope or instant buy.

It does not open with an open ended request.
It begins from a structured project that already defines what is being priced.

The bid responds to clarity rather than creating it.

Why This Exists

Traditional bidding systems start with ambiguity.

Vague descriptions
Different interpretations
Incomparable numbers

This leads to padded pricing, scope disputes, and repeated revisions.

Request a Custom Bid exists to invert that process.

Definition first. Pricing second.

What Providers Are Bidding On

Bids reference the same underlying project data.

This includes:

Spatial scope tied to the property
Measured quantities
Documented conditions
Material expectations or allowances
Dependencies and sequencing

Providers are not guessing what the job is.

Comparable Pricing by Design

Because bids share a common foundation, differences are meaningful.

Variations reflect:

Labor approach
Material choices
Execution method
Timeline assumptions

They do not reflect measurement drift or interpretation gaps.

How Risk Is Handled

Risk is surfaced instead of hidden.

Unknowns are flagged explicitly.
Contingencies are scoped.
Exceptions are documented.

This keeps bids honest without forcing providers to over pad.

Relationship to Planning and Approvals

Custom bids sit downstream of project planning and upstream of approval.

Once a bid is accepted:

Scope is frozen
Pricing logic is preserved
Scheduling inherits the same assumptions

Nothing is re translated after selection.

Operational Effects

Request a Custom Bid reduces friction across the system.

Fewer clarification loops
Less provider back and forth
Cleaner approvals
Faster path to execution

Bids converge instead of diverging.

Strategic Role

Custom bidding is where most platforms lose trust.

By anchoring bids to a shared, structured reality, Cohos turns a historically adversarial process into a controlled one.

Pricing becomes explainable, comparable, and actionable.

Multi-Trade Projects

Dependency aware execution across services.

What This Is

Multi Trade Projects is the system that allows multiple trades to operate inside a single, shared execution model.

This is not bundling services.
It is not sequencing jobs manually.
It is not “project management” layered on top.

It is a dependency aware structure where every trade references the same property data, scope logic, timing assumptions, and constraints.

Why This Exists

Most failures in renovation and improvement work are not trade failures.

They are handoff failures.

One trade finishes late.
Another arrives early.
Materials are not ready.
Access conflicts occur.
Responsibility blurs.

When trades are planned independently, the system has no way to protect against cascade failure.

Multi Trade Projects exists to make interdependence explicit before work begins.

How Multi Trade Is Defined

All trades operate inside one project container.

The system establishes:

Which trades are involved
Where each trade applies spatially
What work depends on what
What must be completed before the next begins
Where overlap is allowed and where it is not

Trades are no longer blind to each other.

Dependency Mapping

Dependencies are not inferred in real time.

They are declared up front.

Examples include:

Demolition before framing
Framing before electrical
Electrical before drywall
Drywall before paint
Paint before flooring

These relationships are locked into the project, not left to interpretation.

Shared Measurement and Scope

All trades reference the same underlying measurements and spatial model.

This eliminates:

Conflicting dimensions
Overlapping assumptions
Redundant site visits
Scope disputes between providers

Each trade prices and executes against the same reality.

Scheduling Without Collision

Scheduling is derived from dependency, not availability alone.

One trade cannot be scheduled in isolation if it blocks or depends on another.

This prevents:

Crews arriving to unfinished work
Idle time on site
Compressed schedules that fail in practice

Time becomes coordinated, not optimistic.

Change Propagation

When one trade changes, the system understands the impact.

If scope expands
If timing shifts
If materials delay

The downstream effects are visible immediately.

Changes propagate structurally instead of surfacing as surprises.

Accountability Without a General Contractor

There is no single person “holding everything together.”

The system does that instead.

Each trade is accountable to:

Its defined scope
Its dependency position
Its documentation requirements

Coordination is enforced by structure, not heroics.

Why This Is Not a Marketplace Feature

Marketplaces connect trades.

They do not coordinate them.

Multi Trade Projects is one of the clearest lines between Cohos and every directory, lead platform, or bid board.

This is infrastructure behavior, not matching behavior.

Structural Role

Multi Trade Projects allow Cohos to handle complex work without becoming a general contractor.

Coordination lives in the system.
Risk is reduced through definition.
Execution scales without chaos.

Walkthrough Virtual Quote

Remote scoping without blind pricing.

What This Is

Virtual Walkthrough Quote is the system for producing reliable quotes without requiring an immediate on site visit.

It uses guided video, photos, and real time clarification layered on top of the existing property model to scope work accurately from a distance.

This is not a rough estimate.
It is remote scoping with structure.

Why This Exists

On site walkthroughs are expensive.

They slow decision making.
They limit scale.
They waste provider time when projects do not move forward.

At the same time, blind remote quotes fail because they rely on assumptions.

Virtual Walkthrough Quote exists to remove both failure modes.

How It Works

The walkthrough is structured, not casual.

The system guides capture around:

Specific rooms or zones
Known systems or problem areas
Required angles and details
Condition verification
Clarifying follow up where ambiguity remains

Video and photos are anchored to locations inside the property model.

Relationship to the Property Model

Because the property already has spatial structure, the walkthrough fills gaps instead of starting from zero.

Unknowns become known.
Measurements are confirmed or refined.
Conditions are validated visually.

The walkthrough strengthens the model rather than bypassing it.

Quote Accuracy Without the Truck Roll

With visual confirmation and spatial context:

Scope can be finalized
Materials can be specified
Quantities can be validated
Risk can be surfaced explicitly

Quotes are based on observed reality, not averages.

When On Site Is Still Required

The system does not pretend everything can be virtual.

If conditions cannot be verified remotely, that is flagged early.

On site visits are reserved for:

Structural uncertainty
Hidden system access
Permit or inspection requirements

This prevents wasted visits while protecting accuracy.

Operational Effects

Virtual Walkthrough Quote reduces friction across the platform.

Faster turnaround
Lower provider overhead
Higher quote completion rates
Less speculative pricing

Time is spent where it adds value.

Structural Role

This feature allows Cohos to scale quoting without scaling site visits.

It converts visual access into pricing intelligence while staying grounded in real conditions.

Remote does not mean approximate.

Renovation Planning

Front loading decisions so execution does not unravel.

What This Is

Renovation Planning is the layer where complex, high impact changes are thought through before money, materials, or trades are committed.

It is not design for aesthetics alone and not construction management after the fact.
It is structured decision making that defines what is changing, why it is changing, and what that change touches across the property.

Renovation is treated as a system event, not a collection of tasks.

Why This Exists

Renovations fail long before work starts.

Goals are vague
Budgets are disconnected from scope
Trades are brought in too early
Design decisions are made in isolation

Once execution begins, fixing those mistakes is expensive.

Renovation Planning exists to absorb complexity early, when it is still cheap to resolve.

What Gets Planned

Renovation Planning addresses the full surface area of change.

This includes:

What spaces are affected
What existing materials or systems are removed or reused
What new materials or products are introduced
How changes affect adjacent rooms or systems
What work must be sequenced or coordinated
What can be deferred versus what is foundational

Nothing is assumed to be isolated.

Relationship to the Property Model

Renovation Planning operates directly on the existing property structure.

Because the system already knows what exists, planning focuses on deltas, not discovery.

What stays
What goes
What changes
What must adapt

Renovation becomes modification of a known state, not reinvention.

Financial Discipline

Costs are evaluated against defined outcomes, not ideas.

This allows:

Early budget alignment
Clear tradeoffs between scope and spend
Identification of high impact upgrades
Avoidance of cascading change orders

Money follows intent instead of reacting to surprises.

Multi Trade Readiness

Renovation Planning sets the stage for coordinated execution.

Trades are identified early.
Dependencies are mapped.
Materials are staged logically.

Execution becomes confirmation of a plan instead of improvisation under pressure.

Long Horizon Thinking

Renovation decisions are recorded as part of the property’s evolution.

Future maintenance
Future upgrades
Future resale or valuation prep

Each renovation strengthens the asset instead of creating hidden complexity.

Strategic Role

Renovation Planning is where Cohos replaces the traditional general contractor decision bottleneck with system level clarity.

Complex work becomes manageable without centralizing labor or control.

The system does the thinking early so execution can stay clean.

Not Sure What I Need

Problem framing before service selection.

What This Is

Not Sure What I Need is the entry point for uncertainty.

It allows work to begin without forcing a premature service choice. Instead of selecting a trade or package, the system starts by clarifying what is happening and what actually matters.

Confusion is treated as a valid starting state.

Why This Exists

Most people do not experience problems as services.

They experience symptoms.

Something leaks
Something smells wrong
Something stopped working
Something feels off

When platforms force service selection too early, the result is mis scoped work and wasted effort.

Not Sure What I Need exists to slow that moment down.

How the System Responds

The system guides discovery instead of asking for guesses.

It works through:

Observed symptoms
Location and timing
Recent changes or work
Known materials and systems
Visual evidence when available

The goal is to narrow the problem space before proposing solutions.

Relationship to Diagnosis and Planning

This entry point does not trigger execution.

It feeds into:

Problem diagnosis
Project definition
Maintenance evaluation
Escalation when needed

Only once the issue is framed does the system move toward pricing or scheduling.

Preventing Wrong Work

By starting with uncertainty, the system avoids:

Dispatching the wrong trade
Quoting unnecessary services
Stacking fixes on top of unknown causes

Clarity is established before money moves.

Operational Effects

This reduces noise across the platform.

Fewer incorrect requests
Less back and forth clarification
Higher first pass resolution

Time is spent solving the right problem.

Structural Role

Not Sure What I Need allows Cohos to accept reality as it is, not as a menu assumes it to be.

It keeps the system aligned with how problems actually show up in the real world.

Compare Bids

Differences exposed instead of hidden.

What This Is

Compare Bids is the layer that allows pricing options to be evaluated against the same underlying reality.

Bids are not compared as standalone numbers.
They are compared against shared scope, shared measurements, and shared assumptions.

The system shows what is actually different, not just what costs more.

Why This Exists

Most bid comparisons are fake comparisons.

Scopes vary quietly
Quantities differ
Materials are substituted
Risk is padded inconsistently

Lower numbers are not cheaper.
Higher numbers are not clearer.

Compare Bids exists to remove that fog.

What the System Normalizes

All bids reference the same foundation.

This includes:

Identical spatial scope
Shared measurements and quantities
Defined material expectations or allowances
Known constraints and conditions
Declared exclusions and contingencies

Differences are intentional, not accidental.

How Differences Are Shown

The system isolates variation.

You can see:

Where scope expands or contracts
Where materials differ
Where labor assumptions change
Where risk is priced explicitly
Where timelines diverge

Nothing is buried in fine print.

Preventing Low Bid Failure

Cheap bids fail because uncertainty is hidden.

Compare Bids forces uncertainty to surface.

If a bid is lower, the system shows why.
If a bid is higher, the system shows what it covers.

Risk becomes visible instead of deferred.

Impact on Decision Quality

This changes how decisions are made.

Selection is based on tradeoffs, not guesswork.
Confidence replaces optimism.
Approvals are cleaner.

The chosen bid aligns with intent instead of surprise.

Operational Effects

Clear comparisons reduce churn.

Fewer re bids
Less renegotiation mid project
Lower dispute rates
Higher execution alignment

Decisions stick because they were informed.

Structural Role

Compare Bids is where Cohos replaces adversarial pricing dynamics with structured transparency.

It turns bidding from a gamble into a controlled evaluation.

Numbers stop competing in isolation and start competing on substance.
