What is wrong with howtenders are awarded today.

Price every detail and you look expensive.

01

The good jobs are hard to find

Real opportunities sit behind agents, referrals and lead sites, and the ones that reach you are rarely worth the hours.

02

Every tender starts from scratch

Days of work just establishing what the documents actually cover, before a single rate goes in.

03

Nobody reads past the bottom line

The work behind it, the programme and the exclusions never get looked at.

The fix

We write the scope for you.Your whole tender gets read.

From finding the jobto winning it.

Four steps, and the hardest part is already done for you.

02 / 04The scope is written

A detailed scope of works, provided.

We read the client’s documents and lay out the full scope of works for you, every scope item referenced to the page it came from. You walk the list and mark each line, instead of losing days working out what the drawings actually cover.

03 / 04Priced on more than the number

A careful price is finally seen as one.

Everyone prices the same scope and answers the same questions, so an exclusion you have stated plainly reads as diligence rather than a gap. Every tender is read the same way, and every score shows its working.

Submission opens once every required answer is in. Everything so far is saved, so finish whenever suits.

You know the rulesbefore you price.

Everyone pricing the same job has been checked first, and everyone works to the same rules.

01

Everyone here is verified

ABN against the Australian Business Register, licence against the state register where one connects and by our team where it does not. A spot on an open round opens only once both have passed, for you and for everyone you are priced against.

02

Every scope item is referenced

Each line you price points to the document, page and revision it came from. Nothing is measured off a drawing. If the scope changes mid round, a numbered addendum goes to every builder at once.

03

You see how you were scored

The same six measures for every tender on the round, published before it opens. Each score shows its working, so you could read your own evaluation and know exactly where it came from.

Your details stay private. Every round is capped, and you see the cap before you enter.

Preferred Partner register

Victoria announces 10 business day assessments for eligible developments of up to four homes

Victoria has announced a faster planning assessment pathway for eligible developments of up to four homes on a block. A new report finds that a median-income household can afford around 12% of the homes sold nationally. And the Reserve Bank has signalled that another rate rise remains possible in September.
