A smaller contractor simply cannot spend the time or be as comprehensive with estimating as we are; therefore their prices are not as competitive. Our full-time estimating staff has perfected the science of preparing bids. Our estimates are sharper, hence very competitive. We eliminate surprises. And because we are one of the largest contractors in the area, we have better negotiating power for the best pricing for sub-contractors and other suppliers, a value we pass on to our customers.
