[OLD CHIPMONK]

Found a place you can save if you want to join the club ! How do you save in the current market ?

Pass the cost along to the customer.

That is a fantastic idea...

I def. do the same thing.

And put a shelf life date on estimates to avoid getting bit by large unforseen price spikes.

I'm using 90 days right now and that has protected me pretty well from rising fuel costs. During the winter months in the Northeast I have been playing with the idea of going 30-45 days.

Sounds like a good number to me. Def. a sufficent amount of time for the customer to, read it over, get other bids, figure it out...and proceed on.

Thanks for the tip.
