In today’s competitive market, too many custom home builders find themselves trapped in a cycle of bidding against other builders. They spend countless hours preparing detailed proposals, only to lose out to lower bids or, worse, win projects with razor-thin margins that leave little room for inevitable challenges.
But what if there was a better way?
Dave Reagan, a 35-year veteran builder, discovered a system that completely eliminates the need to bid against other builders. Instead of competing on price, he gets paid upfront and maintains healthy margins on every project.
The Secret? Pre-sold Custom Homes
The traditional model of bidding against other builders is fundamentally flawed. Here’s why:
- You’re Starting from a Position of Weakness – When you’re one of multiple builders bidding on a project, you’re immediately commoditizing your services. The conversation becomes primarily about price rather than value, expertise, or relationship.
- You’re Investing Time with No Guarantee – Every hour spent preparing a bid is time you could spend building relationships with future clients. Most builders spend 15-20 hours on each bid, with success rates often below 25%.
- You’re Accepting Unnecessary Risk – When you win a bid by being the lowest price, you’re starting the project with minimal margin for error. Any supply chain issues, weather delays, or scope changes can quickly turn a tight profit into a loss.
The Better Approach
Instead of competing on price, successful builders are:
- Building trust before discussing price
- Getting paid upfront for their expertise
- Maintaining control of the entire building process
- Creating partnerships instead of transactional relationships
- Scaling their businesses without risking their own capital
Real Results in Action
Consider Dave Tetlow of Tetlow Homes, a first-time builder in Connecticut who used this system to land a $1 million project with zero money down and no bidding required. Or Jeff Walsh of Walsh Design & Build in Illinois who secured an 16 lots using the same strategies and pre-sold a $1.3 million custom home.
These aren’t isolated successes. Builders across America are using this proven system to:
- Close deals faster
- Maintain higher margins
- Reduce stress and uncertainty
- Build their reputation in their local market
