 You
get the call from the general contractor, congratulations,
you got the job. The first thing that runs through your mind
is "good we got it". Then reality sets in. Your second
thought is what did I leave out to make me the low bidder?
Common mistakes in the bid process are mathematical errors
and not remembering extras that should be added to every
job. Several of these mistakes can be overcome by simply
using a spreadsheet program to do your quotes. You can use
Microsoft Excel if you have it or there is a free program
which is completely compatible with the entire Microsoft
Office suite called
OpenOffice. You can download it for free on our
software page. We also can
customize a spreadsheet for your particular trade. You can
keep the quote, competitors prices, suppliers quotes,
proposal & change orders all in one file. Then you can refer
back to jobs quoted in the past. For more information on our
spreadsheets please contact us
HERE. |

Call Before You Dig! |
 North
Carolina state law requires anyone performing excavation to
first call the statewide notification center's number before
digging. Callers must then wait 48 hours while utilities
locate and mark their underground facilities. Before
excavating, dial North Carolina "One
Call" at 1-800-632-4949. |
|
Notification should be no
less than two -- but no more than 10 -- working days before
commencing excavation. The markings are valid for 15 working
days from the date of the call to the notification center.
Providing the correct spelling of the street name, pavement
type, nearest cross-street and the area to be marked will
assist the locators in marking the location of underground
facilities within the required 48-hour time period.
If you prefer to submit
tickets online, contact the notification center at
1-800-632-4949 or visit
One Call online for details. The Web site also features
legal information, newsletters, important links, membership
information, mapping and more.
