I am trying to find an article I read a year or two ago in Fine Homebuilding about the problem with give quotes for jobs. I skimmed the article at the time, but remember it talking about how as soon as a price is set both the homeowner and contractor can feel like they are getting screwed. If my memory serves me correctly it was in the beginning of the magazine not a feature article. I have tried to search the archives, and physically searched my magazines, but can’t find the article. Does this ring a bell with anyone? I may have seen it in Fine Homebuilding, but I don’t think so.

That was in a "Houses" issue, I think- it was primarily about cost plus contracts, as an alternative to bids or T+M contracts.
Found it- houses 2006, pg 26. Issue 179
