Tender support
Bills of quantities, trade scope sheets and quote comparison sheets, set out so every subcontractor prices the same thing and every quote can be compared line by line.
What you get
Bills of quantities
- Measured quantities by trade and element, numbered and described, ready to send to subcontractors.
Scope sheets
- One sheet per trade package: what is included, what is excluded, and the drawings it is priced from.
Quote comparisons
- The quotes you receive lined up against the same quantities, with gaps, exclusions and double counts marked. The choice stays with you.
Take-off checks
- An independent check of an existing take-off, item by item against the drawings.
Delivered as a PDF report, with a spreadsheet copy on request.
What we need from you
- The tender drawings and specification.
- The trade packages you are letting.
- For a comparison: the quotes you received.
- Your tender deadline.
How it is priced
Every job is quoted in writing from your drawings or brief before any work starts. The quote is a fixed price in Australian dollars, with the scope and the files you receive, and the delivery date is agreed in the quote. There are no prices on this website because every job is different.
Steady work? A monthly arrangement has a fixed monthly fee, quoted for your volume.
Limits
- Quantities, scopes and comparisons only. We do not price the work, value claims or choose a subcontractor for you.
- Everything is measured from the documents provided.
- Where a document is unclear, the item goes on the list to confirm. It is not assumed.
Questions
What is a quote comparison sheet?
A table that lines up the quotes you received against the same measured quantities, so gaps and double counts show up before you choose. The decision stays with you.
Can you help through a busy tender season?
Yes. Tender season support books take-off and tender pack time ahead for your busy months, for a fixed monthly fee quoted for your volume.
