HI All!
I was curious if anyone else struggles with this. I have only been a contractor for a short time so I'm hoping some of the more experienced guys can give me some insight. I have been quoting work and landing anywhere between 50-65% of the jobs I quote. I feel confident in my process and I'm sure that we are not the low bidder in my area. I have asked some of my mentors (other contractors) about what they would price these jobs at and I'm usually real close to what they would bid. I have been leaning on Ellen Rohr stuff as how to price my work basically I don't want to do jobs that are so tight that one bad day or any problem and "poof" there goes my profit. The question I have is do you ever contact clients after you submit an estimate or you find out they decided to use someone else to see how far off you were.
