Know what is bidding before it closes
Leads arrive across BuildingConnected, Dodge, SAM.gov, county permit portals and a dozen inboxes, and the ones worth having are buried in the ones that are not. By the time an invitation surfaces the walkthrough has happened.

From awarded to paid without a spreadsheet
Once it is won the job needs budget, schedule, POs, RFIs, change orders and pay apps - and the spreadsheet that was fine for one job stops being fine at four.
