Free Estimate vs. Paid Proposal

Free Estimate vs. Paid Proposal .

In this episode Wade talks about his philosophy on why builders and contractors should stop providing free estimates and start getting paid for proposals
 
Wade talks about how the Design - Bid - Build system is a broken system, a standard in the construction industry.  But this system has many flaws.  Furthermore, no one should be working for free.  As Wade says "you wouldn't ask three surgeons to give you a free estimate on a heart transplant.  Why should we as builders be okay with providing dozens of hours for free when bidding work?  Let's discuss and talk about a better solution: getting paid for your time.
