How to Bid More & Run Leaner

  1. Determine if you are currently estimating efficiently.
    • Are your estimators wasting time on mindless repetitive tasks? (ask them!)
    • Does your chief estimator worry about what is in the estimate on bid day?
  2. Determine if you are on top of your jobs
    • Do you need someone responsible for comparing to the plan every single day?
    • Are foremen/superintendents wasting time filling out paper timesheets?
    • Do you have “data entry professionals” entering field data rather than the people who need the data?
    • Are you entering any data more than once?
