In construction bidding, simply offering the lowest price doesn't guarantee success. Through our experiences, we 've come to understand that factors like reliability, efficiency, and personal connections hold more significance. It's important to emphasize trust-building and rapport over just numbers. Following up, engaging personally, and highlighting unique qualities are essential. Winning bids isn't solely about price; it's about earning trust and fostering enduring relationships. #construction #contractors #bidding #costestimation

"Congratulations! 🎉You had the low bid and you got the job! Your bid was way lower than the next guy." This is something exactly zero percent of contractors want to hear. It is immediately followed by the sinking feeling and the thought "what did I miss?..." 🤦🏻 It is important to put procedures in place to ensure you put together complete bids. 1) Start with a broad list of trades, then narrow it down based on the construction documents and actual scope. 2) Make sure you or someone on your estimating team reviews ALL the construction documents, every page of the plans and spec book, and all addendum. 3) Have thorough conversations with subs and suppliers. Do they understand the spec? Are they bidding a complete scope for their trade? Read their bids thoroughly and understand any exclusions they may state. 4) Give yourself time to double/triple check the scope and number. Get any RFI's in early. Don't procrastinate. Only you can give yourself the best chance to put together a good number. PRO TIP: If you don't feel confident in your bid or you don't feel comfortable with the project or customer then don't bid it! Trust your instincts, there will always be more opportunities. Only pursue projects you are confident in or have the potential to help you grow in a manageable way. Don't bet the house on a risky project. #construction #generalcontractor #constructionsales #constructionfinance #cfoadvisor

Contractors, are you falling short on this make-or-break aspect of construction? When you bid and win the job, are you cross-referencing your material costs with the prices of materials you must purchase for the project? You would think this is common sense, but it's not. Many contractors skip this step out of laziness, or worse, they submit a change order and pass the cost on to the client. Don't do this! Make sure you are examining material costs and forecasting whether they will rise or fall. That way, you won't lose money in the construction business. #build #bidding #takeoff #material #costs #market #construction
