General contractors (GCs) and bidders dabble a lot in residential, especially larger home projects including, but not limited to, multi-family projects. Coordination with subcontractors; bidding accurately; overseeing, managing, and improvising, where necessary, the execution of the whole construction process is part of a general contractor's job, too.
Are you a general contractor working on a multi-family apartment bid at the moment? Want to see your apartment building construction cost be the most accurate one amongst all the bids? This is your lucky spot, for Bidding Enterprise is here to ensure your bid goes home a winner! Let’s look at how we can achieve that for you.
Estimating For Multi-Family Apartments’ Construction – Problems And Challenges For GCs
Construction estimating for multi-family apartments is on the rise these days, and has been for a long time. However, that also means there’s a lot of fierce competition that bids have to face. Why else have there been bidding wars on multi-family apartments, after all.
There can be a lot of problems before and during the process of estimating for multi-family apartment construction. For instance, you might miss out on some documents sent by your client in the RFP (request for proposal). This might lead to you over- or under- estimating, and bidding incorrectly on the project. You might receive an RFP for a multi-family apartment and bid on it, just because there was room for more bids left on the project; your construction and bidding skillset falls under single-family projects. Bidding outside of your domain could land you in a heap of trouble.
Consequently, you might not have time to visit the site before submitting the bid; it might be a different kind of multi-family space than what you’ve mostly worked on. As such, you might bid inaccurately, based on what you see, not what you’ve worked with. There might not be enough time for you to review your bid before submission; to recalculate everything; to verify data before construction estimating, so on and so forth.
We’re here to tell you how you can save yourself all that trouble, by reaching out to us and allowing us to take care of your general contractor bidding needs! And below is why.
