A Better Estimating Process

Is there a place on this site that contractors can post their estimate/proposal format? i will be completely re-tooling our bid process this winter and i think myself and others might benefit from actually seeing how other contractors' proposals are calculated and presented to the client.

Thanks,

Jim

I know there are a few in the Private Gardens area, but not sure how much is public.

OK thanks - I would expect that this type of data would not be public - and I certainly don't mind paying for insight like this, if that's what the private gardens is.

I think the real nuts and bolts of our collective estimating processes would be of great benefit to many smaller contractors who are at thier wits end with estimating.....

PM me with your e mail and I will send you mine.

I am leaving for San Diego in the AM, so it may be next week before I get it to you.
