As a 30 year project manager I’d recommend you consider a contingency (error rate) factor. The more the scope of the work is unknown , the higher the risk thus the higher the contingency

@DieselandIron 2 года назад

Great advice! Thank you for that. As I set out to do this video the more I got into it the more I realized how complex it is even trying to take on this topic in a somewhat short, easy to digest manner.

@tillman40 2 года назад

I liked the content you did a great job. I am tempted to build an excel estimating model for fun

@sammyt4549 6 месяцев назад

Brother this is EXACTLY the kind of content that I need right now and will keep me coming back! Thank you, sir!

@DieselandIron 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching and I appreciate the comment!

@mtbmaniac25 2 года назад

Just found your channel the other day, what a gemstone! I'm still a fairly new operator, part time running mini excavators for half a year now. Really enjoying your content! Looking forward to anything and everything related to excavators, business and general construction stuff. Keep up the good work!

@DieselandIron 2 года назад

Welcome to the channel and thanks for the support! Let me know if you have any specific questions and I'll try to get them answered for you.

@ryangarrett3795 2 года назад

Bidding jobs is certainly a talent in and of itself, there’s a lot of components to it and it takes time go through it all

@DieselandIron 2 года назад

It is an art and a science wrapped in one.

@TpetPlayr 2 года назад

Excellent break down of how to bid jobs! Really appreciated it, and you were really straightforward and thorough.

@DieselandIron 2 года назад

Thank you! I really appreciate the feedback!

@jesterofatlas5749 2 года назад

I have spent the last year and a half as a residential construction estimator doing remodels and new homes. The biggest thing I have learned in ther past year is the $value of a day worth of work, and all the hidden costs of bidding a job.

@DieselandIron 2 года назад

There is SO much that goes into bidding jobs. You would almost need to make a mini series just on that process.

@Speeddemon845 Год назад

Love the videos knowledge is power im leaving ltl trucking after 18 yrs and into a union apprenticeship looking forward to learn new things and a change of life

@DieselandIron Год назад

Welcome to the excavating industry! We are happy to have you here

@jacoblarsen6974 Год назад

A couple things about the trucking side of the bid; account time for pre-trip and post trip inspections and maybe an inspection time at mid day. If you have several trucks these costs will add up. Also remember drivers take breaks for lunch etc. and your equipment will sit while waiting for their breaks...

@DieselandIron Год назад

Thanks for the tips and for watching!

@BrianMaas913 11 месяцев назад

I have really enjoyed your channel and content I am dabbling with starting my own business and as much information I can find like this is helping greatly. I really appreciate you taking the time to post things like this

@DieselandIron 11 месяцев назад

Glad the videos have been helpful! We're currently working on a whole series on this topic

@bryan2220 Год назад

Thank you for taking you time to help me improve, in all of your videos I have watched you explain things very well and have helped me to be more successful with my business. Thank you

@DieselandIron Год назад

Happy to help brother! Especially when you spell Bryan the right way. We gotta stick together in this world of Brians....

@jessestephens8322 2 года назад

Thanks for the info. Really helps with the nerves of owning your own business. Really considering starting next year.

@DieselandIron 2 года назад

It's a hard road to hoe! Don't get me wrong, it's very rewarding and you get total independence but, it is not an easy task. Feel free to reach out with questions!

@reganmorben9248 9 месяцев назад

Love that you guys did this! Totally awesome! I realize this is a year old video but I hope you guys have since stopped with the music volume popping up every time you pause to take a breath. Damn that's so annoying.

@DieselandIron 9 месяцев назад

We have done away with annoying background music. Check out some of our newer videos for more information on running a dirt company.

Great video, thank you!

@DieselandIron 2 года назад

Thanks for watching and I'm diggin' the avatar picture!

@jaredgoogoo5852 8 месяцев назад

This is greattt

@godfamilycountry4211 2 года назад

First. Great chat. Excellent topic. Magic too funny

@DieselandIron 2 года назад

Thank you sir! This is a pretty complex topic to cover in a 20 minute video.

@godfamilycountry4211 2 года назад

Yes it is. You summed it up well.

@Rprecision 2 года назад

I don't mark up materials. It's a pain in the ass for accounting, you have to tax it and customers feel ripped off.

@DieselandIron 2 года назад

That's a good point. In this area you are already charging tax so it's not that big of a deal. Obviously you don't list out your materials markup in the bid.

@sjmad2574 2 года назад

New to the channel, great content. I am a retiring veteran who is opening a small dirtworks company in TN. You mentioned Quickbooks, is that your preferred software? If so, why?

@DieselandIron 2 года назад

Thanks for the sub brother! At the moment Quickbooks seems to be the lesser of all evils. I am by no means a giant fan of the software but I do like the easy integration of a phone app for tracking mileage and snapping pictures of receipts to mate with transactions. Those are the things that jump to my mind as to why I prefer Quickbooks over competitors.

@okekewisdom6209 2 года назад

Nice work keep it up, I have ten years experience in heavy-duty operator wheel loader precisey please how can I speak with you one-on-one.

@DieselandIron 2 года назад

Shoot me an email at contact@dieselandironproductions.com

@sixriversexcavation 7 месяцев назад

Are you charging mobilization fee per day or per job in your bid?

@DieselandIron 7 месяцев назад

If we are mobilizing daily then yes, that will be included in our bid.

@brandonmerryman1967 2 года назад

Do you have a bid template sheet for excel?

@DieselandIron 2 года назад

I do not simply because everyone bids jobs so differently. The bid sheet I have put together would take a whole page of instructions to make it work since I developed it specific to the work we do.

@robhowe4th 2 года назад

I'm currently on a Marsh hoe or amphibious excavator just curious if you've ever been on one? The one I'm on is cat 330f long stick it is fun to run my safety lady named her Big Booty Judy lol

@DieselandIron 2 года назад

Haha that's awesome. I've never ran one. I always thought they looked like they'd be fun once you got past the initial pucker factor.

@robhowe4th 2 года назад

The first part I was digging was the closest I've been to fully floating I had just enough under me that I could swing slowly & towards the end of what I'm doing I'll be the same way. Yeah once I got past the pucker factor lol it was fun. My QC calculated it to cost $370 an hour for it which I should be done by this Sat evening.

Just shot you an email!

@DieselandIron 2 года назад

Just shot you one back brother

@winstagram1785 Год назад

Learning how to do estimations based on engineering plans and using Kubla Cubed. Is there a standard number to account for fluff and compaction on a job with cut and fill? I’m confident in the volume it came up with, but I haven’t been able to find much info about that, probably the secret sauce!

@DieselandIron Год назад

Multiplying your volume by 1.5-1.75 should get you in the ballpark. This is going to vary based on material
