In order to provide a lower bid, a contractor can mainly improve two things — labor or material cost. How to reduce material cost? You may ask your suppliers to drop the price, but that isn't successful every time. Actually, choosing the right type of suppliers, whose cost structure is better, is more important.
Why are suppliers with a better cost structure more important?
