I won't engage you in speculation on that level. What I can tell you is that permits are submitted early in the year so that construction can start during the best time of the year.

You mention that RVGD doesnt have to accept any bids...and you are, of course, correct; however, using that thought process you should be saying that the building will NEVER get built because the price may too high forever. Instead, try being rational in your speculation and try understand our client a LITTLE bit. You are missing the point of urgency, and that an owner sets a schedule to meet. Banks (or investors) will expect construction to happen in a timely manner.
Additonally, the bidding process on something of this scale is usually 2 weeks. So, if the numbers stink, the project can be rebid quickly. Seriouly man, this is a small project...bids should be a one timer. Consequently, in my 8 years as an architect, I have NEVER had to rebid a job. Please Re-read that when you talk to me about experience. Its enough for this discussion I assure you.

The GC who wins the bid will start construction once approved to go. Again you speculate that they will have to wait for some reason. Why would you make that assumption? You DO realize that G.C. work often begins before the permits are approved, right?

We do agree on your last statement about the footings. Only thing to my knowledge that a contractor will not complete during the winter is, as I mentioned already, the asphalt....because the plants are closed.

You have padded YOUR VERSION of the scedule. You MUST be a contractor!!! LOL Tell you what...if construction starts before end of summer, you buy me a beer,..and if it starts AFTER, I will buy you one.

The point here is GO RVGD, not who knows more.
