How to be the Only Bidder on Each Construction Project?
Last week I stumbled upon the best idea to build new leads and win new construction projects. As I was walking in an area called Coconut Grove in Miami, I noticed an Architectural Firm in between some retail spaces and remembered a conversation I had with an architect client recently. He said one of their biggest struggles as Architects and Interior Designers is Construction Budget Estimating the costs of their projects. They usually come in over budget and have to redesign at low or no additional cost.
This gives General Contractors a GREAT opportunity here.
Solve the Designer’s problem, and you’ll have new clients for life. In order to do this, you’ll need to be able to pump out estimates quickly. One strategy is to use an construction estimating services company to help you with those bids.

How do you solve their problem?
You offer complimentary construction budget estimating in the early stages of design.
Most contractors don’t care to offer budget estimates reports because it’s not a job they are going to be doing anytime soon. But we are going to be different.
Imagine you visit several Design firms and start receiving basic design drawings to give them some basic pricing. As the design progresses, they might even ask you the best method to build certain parts of the project.
Once Construction Drawings are produced, who do you think is going to get the first chance to bid on the construction project? That’s right – YOU!
You will most likely be the only contractor they send the project to. No bidding, no competition, no wasted time. It’s your project.
This is a win-win for you and the Architect and it will ensure they use you as a valuable resource for their projects. It’s not uncommon for Architecture and Interior Design Firms to be working on 10-20 jobs at any given time.
If you establish 10-20 relationships like this, you’ll be signing contracts on tons of new projects.
I hope this helps and we are a valuable resource to you in helping you grow your construction business.
