From the tender pack to a priced bid — the scope split into trade packages, queries and addenda handled, quotes levelled and the tender sum built up ahead of the close.
- The tender pack is opened and reviewed — drawings, specification, pricing schedules and tender conditions — with missing information flagged at the start.
- Quantities are measured from the drawings and split into trade packages, so each one can be priced and sent out for quotes like for like.
- Queries are raised where the documents are unclear, each addendum is logged with its quantities updated, and clarifications are listed.
- Quotes are levelled like for like against each package, and the compliant, best-value price is carried into the bid.
- Package prices are added up with preliminaries, a risk allowance and OH&P, priced with your rates, to give the tender sum.
- The tender estimate, priced BOQ and clarifications schedule are checked and handed over before the close, for your team to finalise and submit.

Scope
What’s Included
The scope is confirmed with you before work starts, so you know exactly what will be measured and priced.
Quantities & BOQs
Measured to the method the tender calls for — ASMM, NRM2, CSI MasterFormat, the CIQS method or NZS 4202 — or set out in the bill issued with the tender.
Trade packages
Quantities split by trade package so subcontractor quotes can be requested and compared like for like.
Pricing support
Priced with your rates and supplier quotes, with material, labour and plant shown separately when requested.
Clarifications
Assumptions, exclusions and qualifications listed, plus queries to raise where the documents are unclear.
Addenda
Each addendum and drawing revision logged, affected quantities updated and changes highlighted against the previous issue.
