Too many people go with lowest bidder and are surprised contractor sucks. Also, retainage.
Public bids have the same problems, I got a pretty big utility job, and missed getting the whole $3mm project with a combination bid by $7k. I've already got 10x that in COs to fix the low bidders problems or flat out finish their work. This is not an uncommon thing for us, but he was the low bidder and its bond work so there is "no wiggle room" for most CMs.
