That means you were way underbid by a contractor who had very little work and bid the job to "keep the help busy".
It has been my experience that when it happens that fast, the GC wants them on the job ASAP beofre they have time to figure out that they screwed up on the bid.
Consider yourself lucky, file the contractors number under "A" for
and go get some higher margin work.

I'd have liked to have learned how far off my bid was so I could decide whether it is worth my time bidding another job of this type.

If did your best in the bid, and set the profit at the lowest acceptable profit margin for YOUR BUSINESS, then you will find that it probably will not be worth your time to look at similar jobs.
