People might find this useful.
I just sent identical material lists to three vendors. As they come in I will post the quotes here for general information:
Home Depot $3,383.00
Honsador $2,700.00
HPM $2,380.00
Assume the best and ask questions.

Rob, Did you try Argus as well? He has come through with lowest prices for us on more than one occasion.

Strange, a year ago I did the same thing and the list was reversed.

Every time we have done comparisons on lumber we have ended up going with Argus. Other things it has been kind of potluck. Some like Tyvex house wrap had very large variations from supplier to supplier. Take time to check around.

I am doing a comparison right now and although I love Argus' service sometimes HPM's lumber seems to be better quality.
Got to weigh it against what you are doing and how much poor service will factor into cost.

Do all these bids include delivery?
