The Bid process is probably the shortest phase but crucial to ensuring that the right contractor is selected with the right bid. Having a firm that has a history of generating construction documents that are of a high quality and complete is important in ensuring that contractors are able to create accurate material take offs and estimates when generating their bids.
On public projects which require competitive low bids, a set of tightly intergrated bid set documents and bidding instructions will ensure that the bid process is smooth. We have a reputation for ensuring that the bid process is above board, fair and impartial.
On residential or commercial developments, we can help with the selection of contractors and procuring bids.
