From the Preface
Bidding to get a job can be tough sometimes. An estimator who has the success rate over 10% might deserve a raise. You want to be the low bidder. But you do not want to be so low that making a reasonable profit is almost impossible.

This book is written to help you better organize a busy life, win more bids, and make fewer mistakes. Today there are lots of books available to show you how to do quantity take-offs, but the ones focusing on winning a bid seem rare. This is why you are reading this book.

Based on the real-life experience in bidding hundreds of different jobs, this book walks you through every step of the bidding process - from the moment you receive a set of drawings to the post-bid review. The emphasis is on winning a job, sooner or later, while minimizing the errors. A number of checklists, forms, and "how-to" instructions are included. You will be able to use them on your current bid immediately.
