Excellent feedback guys!!! Wise words noted and appreciated. I welcome the advice, thats why I started this thread. Please dont think I am all starry eyed about this. I have reservations and concerns as well. The hotel gig is just a bid opportunity so far. I will probably bid higher than anyone else to ensure a cushion and will definately be requiring 50% at signing or no deal. The contract will be very clear, consise and thorough to say the least. The developer has no Idea that my company is new and I am not new. I am just new to owning/operating. We really didnt expect to start off with a commercial job, especially of this scale, but I dont want to turn a possible good opportunity/profit and reference down. Again I will bid high. I dont have the final site plans yet but the artists concept from top down. About 155 trees, 6 landscaped islands amongst 200 parking spots, a 25 meter raised landscape garden with some brickwork paths and a couple 50 meter landscaped perimeter plantings. Possible sodding. If I bid on this job it will be a well defined contract thats high. I really dont think I'll get the deal anyways. As for the little landscape deal...I get to advertise with the truck in full view in a high traffic area while working... plus a sign or laser etched rock etc, in the front of the project to be seen by everyone visiting that store..should be a good thing no?
Anybody care to throw a rough ballpark estimate out (i know the details are vague...I have never done any commercial work like this, just residential...but try anyways lol) and I'll post my tentative bid total when I figure it all out to compare?
