CONTRACTOR GUIDES

Guides for running the business side of construction.

Practical, vendor-neutral guides for general contractors: how to run a sales pipeline, decide what to bid, keep estimates, bids and proposals straight, follow up, get from award to the first day on site, and plan labor. Each guide is useful on its own, whatever software you use.

Winning the right work

From the first inquiry to an award, and the follow-up in between.

CRM vs spreadsheets

When a spreadsheet is still enough, the signs you have outgrown it, and how to move your data.

Deciding what to bid and how to price it

Protect estimating time before pricing starts, and keep the estimate, bid and proposal straight.

Bid/no-bid scorecard

A weighted scorecard, hard no-bid triggers and a way to learn from past decisions.

From award to the field

The steps between winning the job and the first day on site, and the people it will need.

After winning a bid

The steps from award to the first day on site, in order, with an owner for each.
