Contractors Process – High-Level
Typically starts with contractor reviewing / planning tender (systematic scrutiny of tender documents)Typically involves site survey to establish project scope, type, location, geotecs, cost estimate and quantity take offsPlanning Tender & Building Site Survey (contractor)
Bill of Quantity:materials, resources (technical abilities)Equipment (plant – tools)Labour

Time schedule (planning) In compliance with Contract Codes Realistic & Achievable
Bid schedules Realistic quantities
Is the tender deadline realistic? Is the bid acceptance period acceptable? Are contract conditions acceptable? Sufficient geotechnical analysis? Tender selection criteria: Lowest price or competition on
quality?
