I cant say i cant believe it... i just didn't see it making this much difference...
I bid a biggun'..... milk barn... t/0 old roof framing and replace with trusses and add on here and the to get some extra floorspace... gave the HO a great bid.... walked him thru it... gave him options for everything he wanted... even was gonna let him do the demo and wait on him....
Thing is... the ele. had been taken off the building for demo.... for me to work... needed it back up....temp pole i was gonna help him find and install it....
another guy bid it.... he had a generator..... customer calls me back to tell me this.... said the bids were identical.... (but had less to worry about i guess )... didnt seem to want to haggle with me... i didnt offer....
So how do i learn from this...?????? There was several hours of time in this bid.... sucks to loose it.. but eh, you win some you loose some...
I'm inside looking out..... what should i have done differently? Every job/bid counts... i need them too. I feel dumb for not offering to rent a generator. He has told the guy he got the job.... i cant get it back.... but i cant see where i lost this one....
To a generator? Well of course not....
I lost it for not thinking about a generator right? How do you get a HO to call you back before they make their final choice? A negotiating call?
Hell, i dunno... i just know i'm bummed... really wanted this job...needed rather.
