Tendering Assistance / Bid Solicitation
When looking for RFPs you will come to find out that a large percentage come from IT/hardware, lab equipment, telecommunications, furniture, and last but definitely not least, construction. Construction is right up there with IT and medical RFPs as far as how many of them are on the market.
The variety of construction projects to be procured is vast and hit all fields within the construction industry. Local RFPs for your area of work will be abundant, and federal RFPs within the construction industry will provide your business with as many opportunities as it can handle.
First off, when an agency wants to procure a construction service or product they will release a bid solicitation to the market. This solicitation is public and provided to whoever wishes to start bidding on the project.
Material Takeoffs and Bill of Quantities
The bill of quantities ‘BoQ’ is a document that provides project specific measured quantities of the items of work identified by the drawings and specifications in the tender documentation. The quantities may be measured in number, length, area, volume, weight or time.
A detailed measurement of materials and labor required to complete a construction project is known as quantity takeoff. We have a team of well-experienced estimators who can do quantity takeoff by reviewing drawings and specifications.
BOQ shall be used in every phase (pre-contract & post-contract) of the project but the need of BOQ differs based on different contract agreements & project.

Scheduling and CPM
The critical path method (CPM) is a popular scheduling technique in the construction industry due to its simplicity and effectiveness. It generates a graphical view of a project and calculates how much time and resources are required to complete each activity.
It also determines critical activities requiring attention so that the project can be completed on time. A CPM lists all activities in a project and includes information about how long each activity will take and how each relates to the completion of other activities.
