Most lost margin starts with something the price did not say. Before a tender goes out, check it covers these.
- Drawing register. Every sheet and revision the price is based on.
- Clarifications. Where the drawings and the specification disagree, and which one you priced.
- Exclusions. Stated plainly, not implied.
- Provisional sums. What they cover and how they will be adjusted.
- Programme. Lead times, access and any working hours you have assumed.
- Validity. How long the price holds, and what happens to material prices after that.
Our tender packs come with the register, clarifications and exclusions already written, so you can check them against your own and send.
