That is usually because they don&#8217;t understand what a construction proposal actually is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here, we will look at why they are important, what they should include, and how to create a construction proposal that wins you bids.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What is a construction proposal?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good construction proposal can be your showcase, your protection, a legal contract, and a great <\/span><a href=\"\/uk\/blog\/construction-marketing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">marketing and sales tool<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for your construction company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is much more detailed than a project bid and can help avoid conflict later on during the construction. Imagine if the project owner thought your part of the project was to include work you don&#8217;t perform\u2013then you could easily refer to the construction proposal where you would show exactly what you have been contracted to do and where your obligations lie.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The construction proposal process will help you decide a project&#8217;s feasibility and whether the client&#8217;s expectations are realistic and achievable. If they aren&#8217;t, your proposal allows you to offer the client a realistic alternative that outlines exactly why your business proposal would work better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just by producing a good construction proposal, you can show proposed clients how well you know their construction project while also promoting your business, skills and reputation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The construction proposal also includes task scheduling to monitor the build&#8217;s progress throughout the construction process. This ensures the job stays on track.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We recommend that you begin by looking at free construction proposal templates. Starting with a simple construction proposal template and then comparing that to a top-quality proposal template. Whatever construction proposal template you use, you must ensure that your proposals are presented in a professional way.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Key items to include in a construction proposal<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your construction proposal template should include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The scope of work;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An estimate of the project cost;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The client&#8217;s information;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A payment schedule;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The start and finish dates;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What happens if there are hidden defects or unforeseeable conditions;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A work schedule;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What happens if there are any changes or extras needed during the build;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And, your warranty.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, these are not the only things you need to consider. The construction proposal must be accurate, clear and easy-to-read with a good layout and personalized to your business. Importantly, it needs to be produced in a timely manner. There is no point in it if you complete it days after the clients have closed the bidding.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Detailed Scope of Work<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We recommend you spend a lot of time on this section, making it as detailed as possible, listing the services and tasks you provide. As mentioned, you don&#8217;t want to get stuck doing work you didn&#8217;t agree to because your scope of work wasn&#8217;t detailed enough.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps you are a contractor or renovator <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">who specializes in cabinet making and carpentry, and suppose your client wants to have their kitchen and bathroom remodeled. You are happy to install the cabinets and cupboards, but you do not do tiling. Your construction proposal should detail the work you will do. If you use a sub-contractor to do the tiling, their information and estimated cost should be included. Making it clear who will be doing the tiling.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Cost Estimate<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your cost estimate should also be very detailed, leaving nothing out. It needs to include all direct costs like labor (including sub-contractors), equipment, the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.buildxact.com.au\/blog\/what-is-a-takeoff-in-construction\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">quantity takeoff<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which counts all the materials necessary to complete the build, plus an amount for allowances. You must also include all your indirect costs, like rent on your office and running costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Owner information<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For it to be a legally binding contract, your construction proposal must include all the parties involved and your client&#8217;s details; spelled correctly with no mistakes, and they must sign it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The construction proposal also details what their obligations and liabilities are, as well as any information or resources they are required to provide. Once again, the construction bid proposal is a safeguard for you and your clients.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Payment schedule<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This section is very important for your company&#8217;s cash flow. It sets out the terms and conditions of payment. There may be local construction industry laws and regulations that may dictate some of the conditions, but this section can safeguard you against clients refusing to pay because they have a dispute. Here, you can layout whether the client makes payments as you reach milestones or that the client makes them on certain dates. Also, you can include when payments for extras or unforeseen issues are to be paid.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Start and finish dates<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adding the start and finish date of the proposed project is also very necessary because the costs that you establish often are based on the job going ahead at a certain time. If the dates alter, then it is quite possible that the price of materials and labor may change, too. You should also include the date the notice to go-ahead with the project was given to all the contractors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should also note when milestones are to be achieved and who is liable for delays, depending on the cause of the delay\u2013more safeguarding for you and your clients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, there are several <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.buildxact.com.au\/blog\/7-construction-estimating-mistakes-and-how-to-avoid-them\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mistakes that builders make when estimating<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and making a construction bid proposal:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Hidden defects and unforeseeable conditions<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often forgotten is the need to&nbsp;define who is liable for the costs of hidden defects and unforeseeable conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These hidden issues may range from something common like mold behind the walls, to something less common like underground boulders that weren&#8217;t expected. In these cases, there will be extra costs associated with the testing, handling, cleanup, containment, disposal or destruction of the unforeseen issue.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By adding this section to your construction proposals, you can save yourself a lot of time, money and conflict.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Schedule<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the construction project schedule, you must include the amount of time it takes to get permits and approvals, the order of work, and the order of completion. When creating your project timeline don&#8217;t forget to consider possible delays from weather,&nbsp; delivery services and other factors outside your direct control.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Changes and extras<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the time of writing your proposal, there won&#8217;t be any changes or extras to apply. So, this is where you detail what happens and who is liable for anything that may come up after the build starts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Warranty<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another safeguard of a construction proposal is the warranty section. Here you detail what work you are liable to fix and under what circumstances, and it also details what you are not liable for\u2013 normal wear and tear, for example.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Tips for creating a winning bid<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are no construction proposal templates that can guarantee that your bid will be the winning one every time. However, when you write proposals that are clear, accurate, personalized, include all the details necessary, and showcase your business, then you are on your way to landing your next project.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t forget to follow up on your budget proposal or your marketing proposals to bring in more potential clients. Make proposal follow-up part of your sales process.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Give your proposals a personalized touch<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The difference between a good construction proposal template and a great proposal is its professional design. It could be as simple as finding a free construction proposal template, adding your company logo, changing fonts to reflect your business style and adding a cover letter.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pay attention to what your clients need, make the review of your proposal easy and make sure the clients read clear instructions and information throughout the proposals you create.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Focus on the details<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is super important to focus on the details in construction proposals. Make sure your <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.buildxact.com.au\/blog\/how-takeoff-software-helps-you-estimate-faster-and-more-accurately\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">quantity takeoffs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are accurate, that they include everything, even descriptions, pictures or graphs. Give your clients clear and understandable information that they can rely on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a construction proposal template to make sure you don&#8217;t miss anything.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Ensure your data is accurate<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure everything you include is accurate, any mistakes can damage your reputation and lose you bids. Your client wants to trust you, but errors make them wary.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Example of a construction proposal<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><iframe title=\"How to produce a professional custom quote letter using Buildxact\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EdKR-TmFSQU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why you should use estimating software during the proposal process<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we pointed out earlier, getting your proposals done in a timely manner is crucial to winning project bids.
