Writing a methodology means reading the whole tender: the scope, the specification, the staging and traffic requirements, the environmental conditions and the returnable schedules. It takes a project manager away from site for days. Because we have already been through every document to price the job, we can write it as part of the same piece of work.
What we prepare
- Construction methodology written to the tender's own headings and returnable schedules: sequence, staging, access, traffic management, resources, hold points, environmental and safety controls.
- Tender programme built from the same crews and durations as the estimate, with the milestones the tender asks for.
- In the formats the tender needs, including a PDF Gantt chart and a Microsoft Project file.
Why it matters that it matches the price
Assessors notice when the programme says twelve weeks and the preliminaries are priced for eight, or when the methodology describes two crews and the estimate carries one. When the same people write all three, they agree.
Your project manager reviews it and adds the company's own knowledge and experience, instead of starting from a blank page. That's days back on the job site.
Common questions
Can you write the methodology without doing the estimate?
Yes, from the tender documents. It's quicker and more consistent when we've priced the job too, because the durations and resources come straight from the estimate.
Will it read like our company wrote it?
It's written to be reviewed and adjusted by your project manager, with your company's name, systems and experience added. It goes out as your submission.
What programme formats do you provide?
A PDF Gantt chart and a Microsoft Project file, or whatever format the tender asks for.
