30 property landscape bid
Permalink   
 


In the beginning of this year I said I was going to start not working my ass off, and I have. I've ended up partnering with an herbicide company and we throw each other lots of work.

They just shot me over a message asking how much I charged on average, and asked why and he sent me over a 30 property bid he's part of that he wanted me to also bid on.

There are so many different kinds of properties on this list, and although now I'm just a one-man operation I would have to hire a guy to help me on these. There is about a three week expectancy on turnaround on these.

Details aside, I'm looking for any bit of advice on bidding on this, I'm not trying to get into numbers or anything and I know how much I need to make about a day and how much I can do, but I'm curious if I should be a little cheaper since it's a huge bid, or more since if something goes wrong it would just turn into a total disaster. I also don't know what other landscape companies charge for this kind of stuff, I just know what it takes me and what I need to make to be happy, so I don't really know how to bid kind of in the middle of low and high, although I am not a cheap guy.

Also I'm just going to use my off day to go look at all three of these properties so I don't get totally screwed on bidding on them.

Thoughts?

You might need more than one to get through the project. If it’s all in one development, then it helps to have everything dropped off and then you grab what you need from that pile.

hopefully others will come along and give you better insight!

It's great that you're taking steps to avoid burning out. As for bidding on those 30 properties, it's definitely a big task. It's wise to consider all angles, especially since you might need to hire extra help. Trusting your instincts on pricing is key, but it's also worth doing a bit of market research. Maybe reach out to other landscaping companies or check out online resources  topgradeenterprises.com to get a sense of the going rates for similar projects.Taking the time to visit the properties beforehand is a solid plan. It'll give you a good feel for what you're dealing with and help you avoid any surprises down the line. And hey, even if you're not the cheapest option out there, your quality and dedication speak volumes.
