Re: Are you happy????
Oh and I should say that I'm not knocking anybody here! I'm just a little pi..ssed off right now.
For example..... I just bid on a job at $10,100 dollars, the project manager talked me down to $8700 which is about a break even number for me.
What does he do?, he gives it someone that bid $5500!
Unbelieveable, the materials alone will be that much!
That's what I'm constantly up against, and I'm using pricing that I used 10 years ago!
I used to bid on projects against maybe three other companies, now I'm bidding against
14 companies.
People who have jobs here are afraid they might lose them, and anything to do with the consruction industry people are just barely keeping their heads above water, those that actually have work.
I've talked to people today on the phone in Florida, California, and Minnesota, and they're all saying the same thing. Things are terrible and getting worse.
