Understanding Tendering & Estimating

In major construction, Tendering and Estimating has firmly established formulas and protocol. In order to understand this area fully, four main themes are expanded:

•  the client’s development strategy, which influences the selection of a suitable procurement method and contractor for the achievement of their development goals

• the efficient use of the contractor’s resources, and the assessment of competitive bids

• the tendering and estimating process - in simple, understandable terms

•  tender analysis and direction, and assessing error examples.

Procurement and Marketing

When you look at the 'bigger picture', it's quite amazing how little people know about business and (quite frankly) how stupid and desperate they must be.  Right now, Machine Plasterers in the UK are destroying their own industry and DRIVING DOWN prices at phenomenal speed!  Machines apply materials at a faster rate (time = money, so therefore equaling more potential profit). We know this. So why sell the No.1 benefit of service as being cheaper for your client? Because it's certainly not the only or biggest benefit.  By doing this, all you do is put the 'profit' you could have made directly in the pocket of somebody else - i.e. your client. Machine Plasterers sell 'cheaper, cheaper, cheaper' like there will be no industry left tomorrow, and actually get 'poorer, poorer, poorer' by doing so, competing against each other solely on price. At the rate that prices are dropping for machine plastering, in the next five to ten years there will be no 'advantages' left and you'll NEED a machine just to earn only an average wage!
