Description

Measure Twice, Bid Once. Bidding jobs can make or break a business in the trades. In this episode of Blue Collar Outdoors, we sit down with the Frazey Brothers to talk about what really goes into pricing a job, avoiding costly mistakes, handling unexpected problems, knowing when to say no, and figuring out what jobs are actually worth your time. We also share some of our worst bids, biggest jobsite lessons, and how tools like ChatGPT are changing the way we approach estimates and visualize projects. Whether you're running a business, working in the trades, or thinking about starting one, there's something here for you. What’s the biggest bidding mistake you’ve ever made?
