– Top Priority
The age-old question in our industry: What takes top priority, bidding or project management? Many contractors do not recognize the clear answer:
Project management takes top priority.
The primary importance of estimating evaporates when chaos reigns on the jobsite.
So why spend so much time and expense on takeoffs and estimates? Answer: Estimating excellence produces more PROFIT. Here are two important reasons:
- An excellent estimate enables a project manager to realize a job’s full PROFIT potential.
- Excellent takeoffs and estimates yield MORE jobs with top PROFIT potential.
