The main purpose of the site visit is to allow vendors to see where the work will be completed and what the area looks like. These visits give you a better idea of what type of resources you may need or how many workers will be necessary to complete the job. Like pre-bid meetings, site visits allow vendors to get clarification on the scope of work. Here, someone from the agency will explain in detail what the required work is, the timeframe in which they expect the work to be completed and what specific.It's super important to attend those mandatory site visits, especially for construction projects. They help you understand the project scope, resource needs, and deadlines. Missing them can make it tough to get bid documents and submit proposals. So, make sure someone from your company attends and signs in to meet the agency's requirements.

I have heard that one of my friends from the construction industry was fired because her company failed to win the tender. The company should not terminate a team member who was assigned to handle a specific tender proceeding; rather, they should see it as a process to learn. You will be notified of your unsuccessful bid through a Notification to Award Letter, which also indicates reasons for the successful and unsuccessful bidder as well. Failure to obtain tenders may result from non-compliance with eligibility, technical or financial requirements. The team has to work out the reasons behind the failure so that you can win other tenders.

Let’s get into this: If you are a contractor who is constantly in a rush to submit your offer on time, you run the risk of making costly errors as you scramble to put the bid together.

Commercial contractors should be seen as partners on your project. The good ones work with you collaboratively to bring your vision to life. Through preconstruction and construction phases alike, a good general contractor will help guide you through the seemingly messy process ensuring efficiency and production. When conducting project interviews with contractors ask yourself, "can I see myself/my team working with this group through design, bidding, scheduling, and ultimately through the many problems that may arise during construction?" The numbers have to match the budget, and relationships matter!

What Is Construction Bidding? A construction bid is the process of providing a potential customer with a proposal to build or manage the building of a structure. It’s also the method through which subcontractors pitch their services to general contractors. To create successful construction bids, remember the industry's golden rules: Start with highly accurate cost estimates, and submit the lowest bid of all the competing contractors. The process of forming a bid begins with examining construction plans and performing material quantity takeoffs.

We are The Tender Trainers for Subbies | Get Ready to Tender! | Subtract the Stress, Add the Profit | Building Better Construction Relationships at Procurement/Tender Stage
A few weeks back I attended a relationships workshop that I hated but also needed 😅 What does this have to do with my work in construction? Within strong relationships we need: 😊 clear communication with each other about expectations 😊 to be able to work together when we get off track 😊 to have boundaries 😊 to have respect and positive regard for the other 😊 but also be discerning about WHO we choose to be in relationship with. Most of all, in my opinion, we need to be able to have hard conversations. How do you think construction and Main Contractor/Subcontractor relationships could benefit if we brought these elements in... and what have I missed?

A subcontractor's chance of winning a bid is often less than 7%. This startling statistic reveals a lot about: → the inefficiencies in our industry's traditional bidding process. Let's break it down: → Typically, at least 5 General Contractors (GCs) bid on each job → Each trade has a minimum of 3 subcontractor bidders → Subcontractors are pre-qualified and only invited to bid on jobs they can perform → Bids can be disqualified for numerous reasons This system, while competitive, raises some serious questions: → Are we really getting the best value, or just the lowest price? → How much time and money are wasted on unsuccessful bids? → Does this process encourage innovation and quality, or just cost-cutting? Perhaps it's time we rethink this outdated approach. What if we focused more on collaboration and building the best team for each project, rather than simply choosing the cheapest of many prices for a scope? This shift could lead to: → Better project outcomes. → Stronger industry relationships. → Efficient use of everyone's time and resources. What's your experience with the bidding process? Have you seen alternative approaches that work better? *** P.S.: Ready to take your next construction project to the next level, → we're here to help.

I was the highest bidder on a job recently…and it was a good thing! It was going to be a very tough project for my client to execute with all sorts of potential pitfalls. We looked at the risk involved and decided that we’d take a conservative approach to our production rates and material needs. During the takeoff phase, I really took a hard look at the plans and noticed several significant errors with cost implications. I discussed them with my client and we sent in RFIs about them but didn’t get answers back before bid time. We decided to play it safe. We included additional material that wasn't explicitly on the drawings but was necessary for the project to be completed. We included additional asphalt patching beyond the callouts on the drawings. We planned for multiple mobilizations and a logistical headache. I communicated these issues to the developer before we turned in our bid. We’ve now heard that we won’t get awarded the job because we were too high. I got great feedback from the GC. We talked through my client’s approach to the project. The GC wants to work with my client on the project but the cost differential was just too great for the owner to bear. The good news: The discussion, communication, and our thoroughness have earned my client a permanent spot on the GCs list of contractors in the area. The lesson: Sometimes being the high bidder can show that you are more detail-oriented and accurate in your approach to bidding than your competition and the proper communication about your number can end up helping you build a relationship that will bring you more projects in the future.
