The Real Reason HVAC Contractors Lose Money!

The Problem

The HVAC market is highly fragmented with a large number of players. There are over 146,000 HVAC businesses in the U.S., and this intense competition means contractors are in a race to provide accurate, competitive bids quickly. You know the grind when you spend hours on a bid, get wrong numbers, on your top down and bottom down approach does not match, only to get undercut by a few hundred bucks. The industry is fierce, and one missed pipe or a few hours of underestimated labor can cost you the whole job.

How We Solved Regional HVAC Contractor from Texas

A Texas-based HVAC contractor was losing bid over bid. After some analysis on his past data his missing ductwork quantities and overlooked fittings in his takeoffs led to major cost overruns and left clients frustrated. He knew he was leaving money on the table and it was hurting his reputation.

That’s when he decided to partner with Cost 4 Estimating. We took the pressure off his shoulders by providing precise digital takeoffs using advanced RS means software. Within just 15 hours, he received detailed Excel documentation for an commercial office complex worth more than $5 million. Our estimate included every piece of ductwork, all the fittings, accurate labor hours and verified vendor pricing.
