[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 807444, member: 2426"] I may be getting too far off the topic of the thread here, but to your point of declining jobs by pricing to high: I regularly work with a construction company of which I spoke to the owner a month or two ago. They were extremely busy and had been asked to quote a large job. They didn't have time to fully price the job, and didn't have resources to complete the job, so they just sent in a bid that was so high they knew they wouldn't be considered. They ended up getting a PO for the work. At that point, the owner sent one of his PMs to start putting together a plan for materials and labor to complete the job. It is going to be a pain for them, but the owner wasn't willing to turn down double/triple level profit just because it is going to be stressful. Plus, for construction these are strange times and he will probably never see such opportunities before he retires. [/QUOTE]
