HVAC Estimating and the Bidding Process
HVAC Cost Estimates
Estimating can make or break an HVAC company. Studies show that shops who don’t price their services correctly will sink, even if they just experienced their most profitable year ever. Over time, the problems in bad estimating are sure to catch up.
There are many opportunities for the HVAC estimation process to falter, and these opportunities grow more numerous as the estimating process complicates.

Overcoming Estimating Pitfalls
Estimating HVAC jobs is a time-consuming process that can often pose the biggest challenge for HVAC contractors. A number of factors must be taken into account, including labor rates, material pricing calculations, and the opportunity for clerical errors. The more complicated your firm’s estimation process is, the more opportunities there are for error and the more errors there will likely be.
Errors may arise in the estimation process when the method for carrying out the estimation itself isn’t well-defined. Contractors who use a pen-and-paper estimation process or draft up on-the-spot estimates in the truck can run into issues with clarity, organization, and miscalculations that arise along the way.
Bidding discrepancies often arise from poorly formatted documents or double data entry, resulting in skewed or inflated bids.
A complicated estimating process results in estimates that take longer to produce, increasing the chances that a client could move to another service provider.
An estimating process without a clear method of organization may cause clients to choose another contractor as well, not to mention the possibility of overshooting or undershooting a project.
The bottom line is that customers are more likely to pick an HVAC contractor with complete, neatly formatted documents that come out in a timely manner.
