HVAC contractors waste 4-5 hours creating detailed proposals only to lose jobs to price-shopping customers who collect 5-6 bids and choose the cheapest option.

Current proposal process is time-intensive (site visits, supplier pricing, calculations, meetings) but doesn't protect contractors from being used for free consulting in competitive bidding wars where customers prioritize price over value.
