How We Bid

At LMC, we believe that a thorough and well-managed bidding process is crucial for project success. Our approach to bidding and subcontractor selection is designed to ensure competitive pricing, comprehensive scope coverage, and alignment with our commitment to quality and community impact.

Bid Process & Subcontractor Selection

Our bidding process is built on the following core elements:

  1. Thorough Document Review: Before sending out invitations, our team conducts a comprehensive review of all bid documents to ensure clarity and completeness.
  2. Adaptability to Project Timelines: We're experienced in managing compressed design and bidding phases, using concurrent sequencing to avoid drawn-out redesign and rebidding processes.
  3. Comprehensive Bid Packages: We produce detailed subcontractor bid packages with supplemental information to complement design documents, ensuring all potential partners have a clear understanding of the project requirements.
  4. Proactive Communication: We conduct robust due diligence, informing the subcontracting community about upcoming projects before the bidding process begins.
  5. Wide-Reaching Bid Invitations: To ensure a diverse and comprehensive response, we publish bid invitations through multiple channels, including plan centers, newspapers, and local membership and outreach programs.
  6. Extensive Subcontractor Network: We use LMC's extensive database of qualified renovation subcontractors and suppliers, which has been built over years of successful projects.
  7. Detailed Bid Worksheets: Our bid worksheets outline every scope item applicable to the project, including elements that may not appear in the drawings, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
  8. Thorough Bid Comparison: We use detailed subcontractor comparison worksheets to ensure all bids receive a fair and lateral comparison.
  9. Clear Subcontracts: Once selected, subcontractors receive substantial and thoughtfully detailed contracts that clearly define the project scope and schedule.

By adhering to this process, we ensure that every project benefits from competitive pricing, quality workmanship, and a diverse pool of skilled subcontractors and suppliers.
