Why a Pending Quote Loses the Bid

A bid due date does not wait on a sub quote. A blank HVAC line is a hole in the number. A pending call back is not a cost you can carry.

The weekday line is $2,400. If the work is not standard, you get a quote before work begins. You do not carry a guess into the GMP.

How to Write the Line Item

Paste one line into the estimate. Single zone mini split install, materials and labor, weekday $2,400. Put Jester Climate and (512) 297-7493 in the notes.

The weekend line is $2,600. Keep non standard work off this line until it is quoted. For repeat work, call (512) 297-7493 to set up repeat scheduling.

What the Site Walk Confirms

A casita reads smaller than it loads. West glass and a hot attic push the size up. The size gets confirmed on site. Line set path, circuit size, drain routing, penetration location and equipment size are confirmed at the site walk.

Permits are not in this number. Requirements vary by jurisdiction. Jester Climate is not a permitting authority. Confirming permit need sits with the owner or the general contractor.

Deposit, Balance, and Booking

$400 materials deposit books the job. Balance is due on completion. Phone is (512) 297-7493.

You pick the date. The date gets confirmed. If anything changes, you get told.

$2,400 weekday. $2,600 Saturday or Sunday. One Joker day each week is priced under the weekday rate. The day moves week to week and it is shown on the home page, so if your schedule has slack you can aim at it.

Non standard work is quoted before any work begins. Nothing gets added to the number without you approving it first.

Questions builders ask
Can I bid $2,400 before anyone is on site?
Yes, if the scope is a standard single zone on a weekday. Weekend is $2,600. The site walk still confirms size and routing before work begins. Non standard work gets its own quote.
What is Joker Day and can I bid that number?
One Joker Day each week is priced lower than the weekday rate. The day changes and is posted on the home page. Do not write a Joker Day price into a bid unless that date is booked. Call (512) 297-7493.
Is the permit inside the $2,400?
No. Jurisdiction rules differ. The owner or the general contractor confirms what the city wants. Keep permit cost off this line item.
How do I hold a date around drywall and trim?
Call (512) 297-7493 and name the date you need. Do not show that date to other trades until it is confirmed. If anything changes, you get told.
What knocks a job out of the $2,400 line?
Extra zones, panel work, a condensate pump, a concealed head, a lift set, or pulling old equipment are examples that get quoted before work begins. Size and routing still get confirmed at the site walk.
