A successful unit price contract bid requires the investment of both time and money. There are a number of components from reading and understanding project plans to accurately estimating the costs of materials, equipment and labor involved in a job. So proper bid preparation can mean the difference between winning a project or not. Here are some costs associated with manual bidding and how you can avoid them using ContractComplete’s construction/contract administration software:
Incomplete Unit Price Contract Bids
Forget to fill out a section or didn’t sign something, but when you noticed, it was too late? Incomplete bids can be a simple but costly mistake resulting in missing out on a project which can require tedious bid levelling to fix.
ContractComplete’s construction/contract administration software eliminates risks that come with manual bidding through automated tools so you can have peace of mind.
Poor Communication
Trying to communicate with project team members on multiple platforms? This can result in miscommunication and inaccurate information. Not being on the same page about a project leads to project errors that are both timely and financially consuming.
Stay updated by streamlining all communication on ContractComplete’s construction/contract administration software. Answer questions on the platform, send out addenda, change the bid and make sure all parties are notified about project changes and updates.
Unit Price Contracts & Excel Spreadsheets
Using Excel Spreadsheets is a messy and time consuming method, especially for a unit price contract.
Stay organized with ContractComplete’s construction/contract administration software by efficiently compiling project information into one platform.
Lack of Transparency
Consultants want projects to stay on track in a fair way. Manual bidding can lead to one-sided and untracked decisions.
ContractComplete’s construction/contract administration software ensures a fair bidding process by allowing the consultant to stay in charge. Ensure project changes can’t be made unless there is an agreement between all parties.
