Scope Gap Analysis
You've priced it. I'll tell you what's missing: I run your costing against the full tender documentation and the eleven-category gap checklist, and come back with a written schedule of everything unpriced, underpriced or ambiguous. On a recent 234,000 pound schedule this surfaced 24 additions, including 2,750 pounds of door removals, 2,500 pounds of tarmac reinstatement and a 2,000 pound structural provisional sum, none of which were in the original costing.
Pricing Schedule Production
Turn your numbers into a document that wins: You have the costs. I build the professional sectioned Excel pricing schedule - quantities, unit rates, section subtotals, provisional sums, contractor responsibilities, exclusions and qualifications - presented the way a contract administrator wants to receive it.
Variation and Daywork Rates
Protect your margin after the award: Establishing defensible daywork rates for specialist trades, uplifted appropriately for variation work, with the basis documented, so when the instructions come the conversation is short.
Ongoing Estimating Support
For contractors tendering regularly: A monthly arrangement covering an agreed number of tenders, with priority turnaround. Terms on request.
Consultancy Services
Whether it's a 50k roof or a 350k refurbishment, the process is the same. What changes is the depth.
Full Tender Pricing
The complete service: You send me the tender pack. I send you a submission-ready price. Full document review against the master gap-analysis checklist. Itemised cost build covering labour, materials, plant, subcontract and preliminaries. Supplier and subcontractor quotes obtained and locked in. Daywork rates established for variations. Risk register and written assumptions. Sectioned Excel pricing schedule, ready to submit. Turnaround is confirmed with your fee quote, because the work scales with the size of the tender.
