Tips for Bidding Underground Utilities from a Seasoned Construction Project Manager

The ProfitDig guys talk about bidding underground utility jobs - something Jeff Spencer knows a LOT about! When looking at a specific project, the specifications limit what you can and can't do on a project. Ease of accessibilty is a huge concern. How hard is it going to be do to get your equipment moved around? Where will you have to store your materials? Different types of materials will also greatly affect your bids. Make sure you understand job qualifications. Is stone backfill required? Do your suppliers have the necessary approved supplies you will need?

These are just a few of the items we discuss that have a tremendous impact on how profitable an underground utility job will be for you.

From ProfitDig - bid jobs easier and make more money.
