When it comes to securing a project, the quality of a tender or proposal can be the deciding factor. However, many builders and developers struggle to win contracts not because of poor presentation, but due to inaccurate cost projections. A strong proposal isn’t just about design—it needs precise job pricing to ensure both profitability and competitiveness.

At The Collective, we take a data-driven approach to tendering, combining compelling documentation with detailed, realistic cost assessments. This ensures that clients not only win contracts but also deliver projects within budget.

The Risks of Inaccurate Pricing in Tenders

Submitting a tender with unclear or inaccurate pricing can lead to several issues:

• Underquoting: Can result in financial losses or unexpected budget overruns.

• Overquoting: May make the proposal uncompetitive and deter clients.

• Vague estimations: Can lead to client distrust and further scrutiny.

Many builders rely on guesswork or incomplete data, leading to pricing miscalculations that damage credibility and reduce success rates in competitive tenders.

How The Collective Ensures Accurate Job Pricing

Our tendering and proposal services go beyond documentation—we conduct comprehensive cost breakdowns, factoring in:

• Materials & labor costs based on real-time market data.

• Site-specific requirements that may affect pricing.

• Contingency planning to account for potential cost fluctuations.

By providing clear, transparent, and well-researched pricing, we help builders win tenders with confidence and avoid financial pitfalls.

Conclusion

Tendering isn’t just about making an impression—it’s about proving feasibility and profitability. With accurate job pricing, builders can increase win rates, maintain margins, and execute projects seamlessly. At The Collective, we provide the expertise to make every proposal a winning one.
