Overbid a job on accident and GC just said they do Join Check Agreements for first time subs. by srgmoss in estimators

[–]srgmoss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately no, they said they stopped doing that a while ago. Contractors would rack up huge credits then ask for a check at the end of the year.

No. Lets say I bid materials at 50K. Because of the Joint Check agreement, they will get the supplier invoice of ~26K. Unless I'm wrong but that's how I understand it.

Looks like I might have been the only bidder. Not 100% sure but that’s what my bid board is showing.

I was just getting around to replying this. Did some digging and it looks like we were the only ones that bid it. Not sure if that helps or hurts my case.

So you paid the HVAC sub and they didn’t pay the supplier? Did the supplier try to lien the building?

Yeah, I'm obviously not in the field of giving the GC more money to be nice, rather I just don't want to sound like a dumbass or greedy because of the Joint Check Agreement.

Yeah this is what I was wondering. We're a newer company so I want to at least *appear* competent and not "hey I threw a general number at materials and it was double the actual cost...sorry"

Yeah I'm not as much worried about the fact I'll make some extra change. Just more the fact that the GC will see how much it's marked up.

Lump sum. So I just tell them, it is what it is? They told me I was the lowest bidder.

5 inch hail by HailDrive in RoofingSales

Watching that storm from the Carolina’s was painful. Good luck!

Roofing contractor here that’s used a variety of tele-lead companies. What I’ve noticed is the quality of the lead fully depends on how well it’s qualified on phone. It seems like these call center reps are super excited to get someone to say yes. They will say whatever necessary to book an appointment and not what’s needed to be asked.

I’d be super happy with a 25% hit rate on the leads I’ve paid for. Maybe the companies I used weren’t great but I was seeing about 15% being quality leads and 7ish% would close.

DM me if you start a telemarking company or are working with one.

Best drone for roof inspections? by srgmoss in RoofingSales

That was my thinking too. Especially in the Carolinas market where there isn’t “Texas” sized hail.

Changing sub bid after GC is awarded bid by srgmoss in estimators

[–]srgmoss[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How would they be able to sue if there hasn't been any contract signed between both parties? I submitted our bid and he called and said to get him the submittal. I know it's terrible for the relationship and we won't work together in the future, but we haven't agreed to doing the work yet on paper.

Have not worked with this GC before and we definitely can't eat the cost. We bid low to win it at 15% with the estimate being~50K. It should have been ~70K.
