Frequently Asked Questions
How do I set a competitive bid price without losing money?
Build the floor first — direct costs + overhead + minimum acceptable profit — then adjust upward for risk, schedule pressure, and how badly you want the job. Never adjust below the floor to win.
What win rate should I target on bids?
Winning more than ~50% of open bids usually means pricing too low. Most healthy contractors close 25–40% of qualified bids — the losses are jobs someone else will lose money building.
Should I bid every job I'm invited to?
No. Estimating costs real hours. Qualify first: realistic budget, decision timeline, and fit for your crew. A smaller number of well-fitted bids beats a big pile of longshots.
