As someone who started in construction almost 40 years ago, there are a few truths that never change. For example, you never want to bid too high or too low. And any advantage you can gain—from the take-off process through build-out—is critical to your success.
For a wall and ceiling contractor, it all starts with making sure your final bid is accurate. Before the first wall is taped, you must make sure all quantities are counted and measured; and materials and labor accurately factored into the final bid. For cost estimators, this likely means hunting down missing project details before finalizing your bid. Ultimately, you must submit an organized and polished final bid.
