[QUOTE="UNG, post: 543873, member: 8931"] Not familier with the Luckins guide but most if not all of these guides generally give ideal world times after that it is then down to you hone the prices for the particular site and job You don't say by how much you are losing these jobs by or the overall job value, many years ago I remember winning an £8k job by just under £4 Tendering has so many variables you can do a material takeoff and get quotes from a few wholesalers but you might miss out on the one that is offering the competition the better deal An analysis I have often found useful is to review a tender that you have won against the actual costs incurred to complete the job which will ensure you are actually making the margin you expect The thing is however you tender you can't expect to win them all and sometimes the competition will take a hit on a job just to keep staff for the next more profitable job [/QUOTE]
