Construction Owners False Sense of a Good Price

Are You Looking At Only The Bottom Line?

Project Management category interest

If an owner is given five prices for the same project they typically choose the mid-level price without descoping the proposals to qualify that they are inclusive of all shown on drawings and the scope of work. This is where price vs. quality comes in and Owners would rather take the middle of the road rather than staying in the fast lane and choosing a well qualified bid due to the sticker shock factor.

So build your relationships, take the time to see the entire picture not just the drawings given to you, and lastly be sure that the owner has all the variable that could or could not happen after the bid is presented!

Few things irritate clients more than not being on time. You can set yourself apart from your competition by first showing up on time for planned meetings by arriving 10 minutes early. And set realistic benchmarks for completion. Allow for things like rain days and interruptions. Do not promise a hard deadline, and over estimate the time it is going to complete each step of the project. That way when you complete the step on time or earlier, you are the hero.
