Generate tailored proposals in minutes
Describe your new client and their requirements on the Generate page. DraftYourBid drafts a full, tailored proposal in your voice — in under 2 minutes.
Lead with a scope of works that leaves no ambiguity about what is included — and explicitly list major exclusions.
Include a dedicated health & safety section: site management plan, accident prevention measures, and relevant certifications.
Show a realistic programme with key milestones — a Gantt-style breakdown signals that you've planned the project in detail.
Address subcontractor management: which trades will be subcontracted, how they'll be vetted, and who holds responsibility.
Include a risk and contingency section — acknowledging risks and showing how you'll manage them builds more confidence than ignoring them.
How do I make my construction proposal more competitive?
Competitive tenders are rarely won on price alone. Differentiate on programme certainty, H&S track record, quality management processes, and relevant project experience for the specific build type.
Should I show subcontractor costs in a construction proposal?
You don't need to itemise individual subcontractor quotes, but you should indicate which trades will be subcontracted and confirm they are managed and guaranteed by your firm.
