First, they evaluate the project’s scope, ensuring it aligns with their expertise, crew capacity, and equipment. A contractor skilled in bathrooms may pass on complex structural work. Second, profitability is key they calculate costs for labor, materials, and overhead, rejecting bids with low margins or unrealistic budgets. Third, scheduling matters; projects must fit their current workload and timelines.

Fifth, project location impacts logistics; distant jobs increase costs, making local ones more appealing. Finally, risk assessment is critical projects with unclear permits or safety hazards are often declined. By balancing these factors, contractors prioritize jobs that ensure quality and efficiency.
