Company that Assists with Construction Bids Launches its Online Business
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., – Best3Bids, one of the clients of the University of Central Florida Business Incubation Program at the Daytona Beach International Airport, will launch its online business on July 27 during the one-year anniversary celebration.
Founded in 2011 by Mike Bowen, Best3Bids – or B3B LLC – offers a convenient service to homeowners, business owners and others who need to get construction bids on a variety of projects.
“Because the need to get three bids is the standard in most construction projects, as well as work that is covered by insurance companies, this service can save consumers both time and money,” Bowen said.
By using the website at www.best3bids.com, Bowen said homeowners have access to contractors who can handle the improvements needed to maintain one of their biggest investments – their homes.
“By finding the right person for the job, homeowners often learn that they can afford a project they may have been putting off simply because they didn’t have an accurate cost in mind,” he said.
Doris “Connie” Bernal, site manager for the Daytona Beach incubator, said she expects Best3Bids to grow quickly as Bowen recently received funding for commercials and other marketing projects.
“Mike has created a viable business based on people’s needs. Most of us need three bids before starting a new construction project. He turned this need to an innovative online based business. B3B has a lot of potential to grow nationally. We are very pleased with his progress at the incubator,” Bermal said.
