I think instead of racing to the bottom it would be better to focus on quality. I'm not familiar with your market but I normally do the opposite of slashing the cost in half. I normally double the estimate because there's always a bunch of other things which need to be done that you didn't think about, or unexpected problems.

I agree with you, the marketplace in my country is always lower bugdet,i am oka with this i have realized that is working like this and i am also say prices that are estimated.But some of clients are not happy when you say to them it could be a range from this number to that number.They want de facto prices and there is the problem.I am focusing always to quality and for personal reasons and for professional as well..Anyway thank you for the advice word up +1
