Construction Contractor Comparison Scorecard
Compare contractors on documentation quality — BOQ, scope, materials, reporting, milestones and handover — not only rate.
Who it’s for: Owners evaluating multiple builder quotations.
Compare contractors on documentation — not only rate per sq ft. Score each criterion yourself. This framework does not pre-score Tryino or any competitor.
House builders in Islamabad and Rawalpindi often compete on headline PKR per square foot while leaving BOQ clarity, exclusions, material specifications, milestone payments and handover terms vague. Use this contractor comparison scorecard to document what each party has provided in writing for grey structure, semi-finished or turnkey construction.
Score 0–2 yourself and leave totals blank. Cross-check answers against the Sample Residential BOQ, Build Assurance, and the article How to vet a builder before you sign before you shortlist a contractor.

How to compare construction contractors fairly
- 01
Look past PKR per sq ft
Choosing a house builder in Islamabad or Rawalpindi on rate per square foot alone hides gaps in BOQ clarity, exclusions, material specifications and milestone payments. This contractor comparison scorecard scores documentation quality — not a Tryino ranking.
- 02
Score 0–2 yourself
Score each contractor from 0 to 2 on criteria such as scope inclusions, engineering supervision, change-order process, timeline planning, handover and warranty terms. Blank totals stay blank so you sum scores yourself.
- 03
Pair with BOQ and assurance
Use the Sample Residential BOQ and Build Assurance pages beside this scorecard when you request quotations for grey structure, semi-finished or turnkey construction. Insist on written answers before you compare headline PKR figures.
- 04
Remote reporting criteria
Overseas owners should add reporting cadence and named contacts to the comparison. Weekly photo updates and clear decision paths matter as much as cement and steel rates when you manage house construction from abroad.
