Before You Accept the Lowest Bid

In this episode of The Paragon Angle, we break down the truth behind the “three-bid process” and why it often leads to costly mistakes, poor system performance, and frustrating project outcomes. 

When it comes to AVL (audio, video, lighting) systems, church technology, and integrated design-build projects, choosing the lowest bid can actually cost you more in the long run. From hidden change orders to poorly designed systems, we’ve seen firsthand how this outdated approach impacts churches, contractors, and leadership teams. Instead, we explain why experience, track record, and trust matter more than price—and how choosing the right AVL integrator the first time can save your organization time, money, and stress. 

In this video, you’ll learn: 
     • Why the lowest bid rarely delivers the best results 
     • The hidden dangers of “value-engineered” proposals 
     • How poor design leads to expensive system failures 
     • What to look for in a qualified AVL integrator 
     • Why churches often buy multiple sound systems before getting it right 

If you’re planning a church renovation, new auditorium, or upgrading your worship technology, this is a must-watch!
