Accurate bidding project is actually easy now

APARBooks construction accounting software

Hello, I’m Jeffery, and I’ve been working as a construction estimator for over 10 years. I found aparbooks is incredibly helpful in my project bidding works. Our primary customers are from franchise businesses, and their projects often share similarities in materials, equipment, and finishes. 

During the project bidding process, where five general contractors compete, I’ve discovered a trick to ensuring accurate and competitive bidding numbers with a good chance of winning and maintaining profitability. The key lies in the project schedule page. By analyzing numbers from previous similar projects, determining the actual costs for specific items, and factoring in differences for the current one—whether it involves changes in material or labor prices—I then consider overhead and profit. It’s a simple yet effective math approach that yields more accurate numbers, surpassing the prices found in Cost Books from BNI.
