 ## "Bad Bid Practice"
 
+%%
+Anecdote criticizing the common adversarial model
+of subcontractor-GC relations
+(or more generally contractor-customer)
+in [[construction-contracting]].
+My position is that
+deliberately hiding information from the customer
+(lacking [[transparency]] in interactions)
+always costs the contractor
+more than they stand to gain from it.
