The pipe fab reality
Bidding in this trade is different.
01
Isos by hand.
Estimators counting fittings on iso PDFs while RFQs stack up on the corner of the desk.
02
Turnarounds don’t wait.
Turnaround bid deadlines don’t care how busy your shop is. Miss the window, miss the job.
03
One estimator, no backup.
One senior knows your rates, your markups, and your client preferences. Take him out and nothing ships.
