Why island projects can price higher

Costs often increase when ferry schedules, material staging, and trade coordination add complexity. The goal is not to chase the lowest quote, but to compare complete, realistic scopes from contractors who understand island execution.

Strong requests get stronger quotes: clear scope, photos, timeline window, and budget range. That context helps contractors respond with useful numbers instead of placeholders.
