how do you write a bid for construction contract work?

1. Calculate the amount and cost of materials you will need, transportation, rentals of tools, the amount of time the project will take multiplied by the number of people needed to do the job multiplied by the hourly rate of each person, any insurance costs.....add it all together....add 10% as a buffer just in case anything goes wrong such as 'materials change cost' or 'delivery is not on time'.
2. Don't write one yourself, plenty of people have already done most of the thinking for you... go to office max, or on line search, or maybe Lowe's/Home Depot, or contractor's materials suppliers and then all you have to do is read the ones you can (including all the fine print and clauses on the back) and pick the one that best suits your needs. I helped run a guttering business and we had a lawyer write one for us and took it to a print shop with our logos and had some printed on three part forms. Kind of expensive, but well worth it to get exactly what you want.
