Got the job!

[Dave_L]

Isn't it a nice feeling when, after putting in hours of work pen to paper etc and two site visits, numerous emails and explaining things, you get the official order for a decent sized job which is just up your street?

I've had a surfacing job bubbling along for 3/4 weeks and finally got the order yesterday, in face of stiff competition from other contractors...

Compare that to the feeling when you loose out on a job to, say, the tune of £300-400.....now that's gutting....and it's happened to me recently. Makes all that time and effort seem to be a complete waste. But you just know, whoever is doing the job has it screwed down to the last pound, there is no margin for any increased material amounts, labour etc etc

we have been getting and losing tenders over 1-2% on jobs over 100k
but at least it shows we are in the ballpark

Ive got a decent tender to price for, just wish i could interpret the paperwork Im sure they word it bad on purpose!

Ive got the boq but i aint got a clue which bits i have to price for lol

[Dave_L]

Surely on the invitation to tender letter they would indicate the extent of the works they want you to price?

[DNgroundworks]

im sure it does dave! but its says i need to price say 45/h to 63/a on the boq spread sheet - none of this tallies when you go to look at it!

Happy days Dave looks great and it set the morale up nicely for the weekend. That looks like a modest property.
