Q. WOULD YOU EVER PROVIDE THE SAME ESTIMATE TO OTHER CLIENTS?
Ans. NO and Never! As President & Owner of Bolt Estimating, I ensure high standards and good business ethics. We strongly believe
it’s unethical and prohibited to breach your information and disrupt long term business relationships. This is something we never
engage in. We provide consultancy to our clients about how they can be competitive, win bids but also increase their bid-hit ratio.
