Tender submission
A tender submission is the complete package a builder asks for: the priced schedule, the scope of works, the inclusions and exclusions, and the clarifications list. Tendr builds all of it from your drawings, in the builder's own format where they issued one, and hands it back ready for you to lodge in your own name. Fixed fee per tender, quoted up front.
What you get
An itemised quantity takeoff, a priced bill of quantities in Excel, a scope of works with inclusions and exclusions, and a clarifications list for the builder. If the builder issued a pricing schedule, we complete it in their format.
The parts that get skipped under deadline pressure are the ones that decide arguments later. A scope of works that says what is not included, and a clarifications list that records what you assumed, are worth more after award than they look before it.
Why the clarifications list matters
It is where the assumptions behind your price are written down. A clarification puts the ambiguity back on the record before the contract is signed, which is the difference between a variation you get paid for and an argument you lose later. Where the drawings do not support a proper measure, that goes on the list rather than into a rate.
How it works
- Send the drawings. Email the tender package or share the EstimateOne link.
- Get a fixed fee. We quote a price and a turnaround date before you commit.
- We measure and price. Full takeoff from the drawings, priced to your rates.
- You review. Check the numbers, adjust your margin, tell us what to change.
- Submit. Final tender formatted and ready to lodge.
You lodge it. We do not build, and we never bid work in our own name.
Frequently asked questions
What is in a tender submission?
An itemised quantity takeoff, a priced bill of quantities in Excel, a scope of works with inclusions and exclusions, and a clarifications list for the builder. If the builder issued a pricing schedule, we complete it in their format.
Do you lodge the tender for me?
No. We hand back a package that is formatted and ready to lodge, and you submit it in your own name. We do not build, and we never bid work in our own name.
Why does the clarifications list matter?
It is where the assumptions behind your price are written down. A clarification puts the ambiguity back on the record before the contract is signed, which is the difference between a variation you get paid for and an argument you lose later.
Can you work to the builder's format?
Yes. If the builder issued a pricing schedule or a submission template, we complete it in their format rather than handing you something they have to re-key.
