Construction Bids

cmejio

Hi everyone, I wanted to ask for some advise please. I am a flooring contractor, mostly residential. I just got listed with the Blue Book to start submitting bids on commercial work. My question is, what is the best way to submit a bid, in other words, is there any good "proposal forms" or recommendations before/after submitting the bid, like a proposal accompanied with a letter or something like that. Well, I hope you have some good thoughts about this topic.
And remember good times are coming so just keep it up!!

I'm sorry to hear you have signed up for Blue Book. Do you have a Builders Exchange in your area. They offer free plan room services (to members) for commercial bid work. You best bet!

We used to bid to 3-4 GC per project with only a few trades competing. Now its 15-20 GC with 20 subs bidding per trade. I'm sure it is even worse in your area.

It sounds to me like you want to be a 'template' contractor. (which is fine, if you choose) You can get some examples on the file swap here, but I suggest you google 'contractor forms' and the like. Trust me, there are hundreds of companies out there that have open cell forms available for download.
