WARNING...bottom feeders...do not work for these people. It doesn't matter how good of a company you are, they just go with the lowest number. And god forbid you make a mistake they will try to hold you to something you missed. Also, rush you through bids trying to force mistakes. Look for the cheapest way out and do not take account for their mistakes...WOULD NOT WORK FOR THEM IF I WERE YOU.
