Help with Bidding Projects

Successful bidding is the key to a successful concrete cutting business. If you have highly skilled operators and state-of-the-art equipment, but you are not receiving bid awards, well...

The art of bidding is a talent that requires knowledge, skill, research, attention to detail, patience, and experience. Concrete Cutting Consultants, LLC can provide the training needed by your estimators to make them more successful with bid awards. In addition, we are available to assist with the preparation of individual bids that may be unique, or exceptionally challenging. Either way, we can make your bidding process more successful.

We are available to participate with you and your estimating team during job site walk throughs. We will guide you by pointing out conditions that potentially can translate into costs for your operation. We,ll help you investigate the site and ask the right questions to get the information you need to make a sound, competitive bid.

Bidding Jobs that are Outside the Normal

In order to grow your company, you will occasionally want to take it to the next level. Doing so most likely presents new challenges that will require your organization to step up.

Concrete Cutting Consultants, LLC has the expertise to guide and assist you and your team when you are ready to test the waters by bidding a more advanced job, a job outside your normal. We will provide tips for accurately doing take-offs and for identifying those unanticipated obstacles to the job. Does the job site present difficulties for mobilization of your equipment. How about a scope of work that requires completion in phases --- over a three year period. Will you be working at or near a historic building that absolutely cannot be exposed to slurry spray?

We can guide you through your bid preparation while addressing these types of special needs. We will work with your team to prepare a competitive bid that responsibly outlines the challenges and your approach for meeting them. And once you have the award, we,ll be at your side to tackle the job.

Identifying Profitable Bidding Opportunities

Is your team knocking itself out, bidding every job that comes along. Are you spending time and money preparing bids for jobs with little, or perhaps no, return?

The successful concrete cutting organization uses discretion in selecting which bids to pursue. Maximize the return on your estimators, time by concentrating on those bids with a scope of work that matches the capability of your company. Go for the opportunities that represent good accounts payable candidates. Avoid work that requires standards and applications outside your experience or capabilities. Examine unique job features that translate into additional, unquantifiable costs for you. Examples might include jobs with potential exposures to hazardous materials such as lead or asbestos. Or perhaps the job is over tidal water, requiring underwater operations and additional safety standard compliance. Exploring and expanding your scope of services for new types of work is healthy – just be sure that you understand what it is before you submit your bid.

Our experienced estimators can assist your staff in identifying and successfully bidding those opportunities that fit the capabilities of your company. And we can work with your estimators to identify those lettings that allow for a smooth transition from your existing comfort area to the next level.
