What’s the difference between hard-bid and negotiated construction?

In hard-bid, contractors competitively bid completed plans and the owner usually picks the lowest price. In negotiated construction, the owner selects a contractor early — based on qualifications — and works collaboratively on budget and scope. Negotiated delivery brings the contractor's expertise in sooner and often reduces change orders and surprises.
