| TEMPEST BLOG MAY 9, 2012 Estimate and Bid Ethics – Owner Estimates I have brought up estimating and bidding ethics on previous occasions. I am doing it again because it is extremely important that owners understand and know their costs before and at the bid opening. The costs in this period will influence the entire project along with the costs of it during the construction period. It would cover owners and construction managers using subcontractors to prepare the pre-construction estimates. If receiving bids, have a public opening the contractors can attend.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has become an industry standard on complex construction projects. As more Construction owners reap the benefits of BIM, more projects add a modeling component.

CONSTRUCTION KNOWLEGE | MONDAY, AUGUST 20, 2012  Cheaters Just Don’t Win: How Target Uncovered a Bid-Rigging CM
