Tendering & Estimating
Our team can help you with all aspects of the tendering process for both Clients and Contractors’ perspectives.
For example, during a recent Melbourne tender, we were able to utilise our experience to redirect a bridge design and reduce costs by 40%. This innovative solution replaced steel beams with mono-piles, cast and in-situ piers and Super T beams.
We can provide you with detailed:
- Engineering reviews
- Constructability analysis – viability, efficiency and effectiveness
- Scoping
- Quantity surveying and take offs
- Estimating
- Risk analysis
- Drafting tender responses
