The construction season in Minnesota is short enough that it makes it necessary to work with a planroom in as short a period of time. Business is lost daily by companies that take too long in the early steps of project planning.
Right or wrong the first bid estimate received is favored all others, and wins more often than others. The reason behind this is still a mystery but probably has something to do with the fact that all other bids are measured against the first one received. This causes the later bids to have negatives where they do not measure up to the first. This slants the preference towards the early bid.
So when all things are equal or even close the first estimate wins a statically large amount of the time.
No matter how much we would like it to be, otherwise people are still involved in the decision making process and as long as they are there will always be some subconscious issues to the awarding process.
So what does this mean for contractors?
Most importantly, it is important to be an early bid submitter. The earlier you can submit the greater the chance to win. Just one extra contract a year can easily pay for the tools needed to make estimates quickly.
