Thats the other way of thinking about it... and I flip between the two.
I dont plan on trying to beat price down, I want it down well, in a realistic time frame, I have had rushed jobs done for cheap before and while 100's are saved you live with the results forever. If I can't afford it I won't get it done, rather than squeeze and skimp.
But to @bq s point, if you estimate X and the reality is X x 4 you did your job badly from the offset and the bad job now runs the risk of having an impact on anything else planned.
@Howard I wouldn't want to pay a bonus for something being done by a certain time, I want a job quoted, estimated and done well.
