One of my neighbor went with the lowest figure. Only to end up spending what the highest bid was.

It is important that you have a closed-end contract. If need be hire a lawyer. It will be cheaper than an exorbant over run.
My believe is that you may be partially right, but most, yes must over runs or higher prices are created by the homeowners themselves adding more and more and forgetting that it all adds to the final cost.
