Monroe Barnes, President of MBJ Consultants | Bid Pricing 101 + Panel Discussion #1

Monroe Barnes brings real expertise in two sessions. First, he breaks down how to build a bid from actual costs (labor, materials, subs, overhead, and profit) so you stop winning contracts that lose money. Then, as a panelist, he sits with buyers and lenders to show you what credible pricing looks like from their side. Two sessions, one core message: price it right. 💰

Mike shows you how to set a minimum margin rule and check your pricing fast. Real owner, real lessons. 💼
