Cost vs. Value

BJG

We recently submitted a proposal for a project of a type with which we are very familiar.

Three firms of similar size and expertise provided fees. Our fee was in the middle. We were 10% lower than the third firm but we were 40% higher than the firm that gave the lowest fee.

Bad Poetry Day at BJG

Fun

I feel like I should write a poem introduction to this article, but I am rhymed and metered out. Considering I won our Bad Poetry Contest, this is to be expected.
