The Back Nine Golf <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our clients at The Back Nine Golf <\/strong>both worked full-time with demanding schedules, so they turned to BuildZoom to keep their project moving forward efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BuildZoom sourced three competitive bids ranging from $114,000 to $155,000<\/strong>. However, there was a challenge, architectural plans were still in progress when the bids came in. To avoid delays, BuildZoom helped negotiate a Letter of Intent with the preferred contractor, allowing them to be involved in the design phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By integrating the contractor early in the process, the franchisees secured a final contract at $103,000, $12,000 less than the lowest original bid<\/strong>. With BuildZoom\u2019s guidance, they not only saved money but also kept their project on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
