The $500,000 Job They Never Saw Coming

Last March, Jim Becker at IronCap Construction learned a brutal lesson. His team had been tracking a school renovation project for months. They were confident, lined up subs, and thought the job was theirs to win.

But the RFP? It had gone out weeks earlier.

Buried in Jim’s spam folder—wedged between a phishing email about crypto wallets and a Home Depot promo code. By the time IronCap discovered it, the deadline had passed. The client shrugged: “We figured you weren’t interested.”

Jim wasn’t just angry. He was blindsided. “We didn’t lose the bid—we never even got a chance to compete.”

And with it went a $500,000 opportunity.

Why This Happens More Than You Think

1 in 5 construction firms report missing at least one critical bid invitation due to email issues.
$250,000 — the average cost of a single missed RFP in lost opportunities.
70% of emails flagged as spam are actually legitimate business communications.

If you're relying on:

Free email domains (Gmail, Yahoo)
Unsecured or misconfigured business email
Shared inboxes with no oversight

…you’re not just risking downtime. You’re risking your next big project.
