Read the tender, price the job, follow up the quote.
Winning work depends on reading tenders, pricing accurately and chasing quotes. In most businesses that sits with one or two experienced people, and it limits how much work you can bid for.
We take on the reading, counting and drafting, so your estimators spend their time on judgement and price.
“Two hundred pages of tender documents, and nobody has time to read the conditions.”
Tenders arrive by email, EstimateOne or Procore. Someone reads hundreds of pages to decide whether to price, then re-keys quantities into a spreadsheet.
We can:
Summarise a tender pack and give a go or no-go shortlist.
Extract quantities from drawings and compare them with your estimator's numbers.
Apply your rates and markups and draft the quote for approval.

Contract and conditions review
“We find the awkward clause after we've won the job.”
Conditions of contract are read late, if at all, and unusual obligations surface after the job is won.
We can:
Flag unusual clauses and obligations against your standard terms.
Cover NZS 3910 and 3916 conditions for NZ work.
List obligations and key dates for the project team.

Quoting without the bottleneck
“Only one person really knows how to price that job.”
Quoting depends on one or two experienced people. Enquiries queue, and the quote and the invoice disagree.
We can:
Read enquiries and draft quotes from your price books and margin rules.
Search similar past quotes and add freight estimates.
Pass accepted quotes into the order without re-keying.

Bid library and tender discovery
“We rewrite the same company profile for every bid.”
Responses are rebuilt from old bids, and the right tenders are found by luck.
We can:
Draft responses from past bids, CVs and project summaries.
Monitor tender sites for work that matches what you supply.
Keep one library of approved answers.

Quote follow-up and lost-quote reasons
“We never chase the quotes that go quiet.”
Open quotes go quiet and nobody records why work was lost.
We can:
Track open quotes and prompt follow-up.
Record why quotes were lost.
Report win rate by customer, product and estimator.
