Wouldn't the allowances part of the bid cover those? So, in essence any bid I get I can get the structure build price by subtracting the allowances?
the problem is you won't really know the base cost unless you ask for that bid separately. It's easy to move stuff around to inflate more profitable parts of a project. Just reduce allowances and jack up framing, drywall, etc. to get to the same budget.

I have no idea about work acceptance and performance standards. Other than having inspectors come out and to inspect various stages of the build, what should I be doing?
The main thing is just be clear about how disputes and resolutions are going to happen. There is going to something that you're not happy with and a sub isn't going to want to re-do it. Or something that's in will get damaged, etc.

Will homebuilders do this or is it only general contractors?
