Contractors spend hours putting together Bid Proposals and it's not fair to them if you waste their time by 'shopping' and price matching with other Contractors.If you 'bid shop' Contractor's numbers you are going to get a bad reputation, and you will have a hard time finding Contractors to bid your projects.Sure, you may save a few dollars upfront, but ultimately you are going to p*ss off a lot of contractors and potentially hurt your business long-term.
