How GCs Get a Canopy or Sunshade Bid Within 2 Days

On bid day, the canopy and sunshade line item is often the last number to come in. Here’s how to get it back fast, and what to expect after award.

What to send

The quickest bids start with a complete package:

• The full plan set, not only the sheets you think show the canopies. Elevations, wall sections and details all affect pricing.
• Specifications, especially Section 10 71 13 if the project has one.
• Addenda issued so far.
• Bid date and project location, so we know the deadline and whether the job falls in our Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas and New Mexico install area.

Upload your plans here and a firm number comes back within 2 days.
