Bidding is an offer (often competitive) of setting a price one is willing to pay for something. A price offer is called a bid. The term may be used in context of auctions, stock exchange, card games, or real estate transactions.

"Bidding up" means rising a price for an item by a series of rising bids. It may be unlawful, if done by a group of persons with an interest in raising the price. In traditional auctions, bidding up is a natural course of events. Since 1990s, with the emergence of online auctions, reverse auctions gained popularity, in which the traditional roles of buyers and sellers are reversed, and the goal of bidding is to drive the price down, similar to bid shopping practice of selecting a contractor to do a job.

How does one consider the estimate for bidding a job on laying tile flooring?
Q. If there are any professionals out there reading this, I really would like to know how it is figured in the budget to bid a job on laying ceramic tiles for flooring. Do you bid by the tile, square footage of the room, etc.? Does the size of the tiles matter or effect the price of the job? How do you figure for a hall way? Long or short. Thanks for your help in advance!

A. I had always by the s/f .. Custom work usually by the linear foot. (stripping for example ) Separate for the labor and what we called "prep materials" That is taxable labor is not.. So there should be a break down from labor and taxable items.. If you ballpark 15 $ a s/f it will give you a guesstimate and a guesstimate only .. Locations and tile prices cal vary a lot so use it as a general rule of thumb only.. Rip out and disposal are not figured in there either.. Hope this helps gl p s always get quotes from regular businesses and check for licenses and insurances
