Proposal Writing for Architectural Firms
Our team of proposal writers and graphic designers helps architectural firms win valuable projects and secure exciting new clients with beautifully written, visually stunning submissions.
We Speak Your Language
Architectural proposals represent the ‘gold standard’ of RFQ and RFP responses. The copy must be artfully crafted, communicating complex ideas with language that embodies your brand while remaining accessible to laypeople. The design must be bold, even inspired, showcasing the projects, people and processes that have propelled your firm to success.
Our Unrivaled Perspective is Your Competitive Advantage
Over the last decade, we have worked on 50 proposals for 20 architectural firms working across North America – architects and interior designers plying their craft in nearly every market sector and building type. This experience has helped us develop a unique perspective – a deep understanding of how best to create compelling, engaging and persuasive architectural proposals.
The Hallmarks of a Winning Architectural Proposal
Winning architectural proposals requires a great deal of time, energy and maybe most importantly, a willingness to look critically at past approaches to content development and submission layout. Tip the balance in your favour by implementing the following three recommendations and avoiding some common proposal mistakes.
Project Understanding
Don't simply restate the project's description from the bid documents. Demonstrate a more profound understanding by highlighting what you consider potential project challenges and how you will overcome them.
Project Methodology
Architectural proposals often feature project methodology narratives that use language only other designers understand. Write this all-important section with clear, concise language understood by all.
Win Strategy
Take the time, at the outset, to write down the three reasons your firm is uniquely qualified to complete this project. Find opportunities to weave this winning strategy throughout your proposal, including picture captions and graphics.

Technology and Proposal Automation at the Proposal Lab
Without an efficient and effective way to respond to RFQs and RFPs – one that utilizes proposal professionals and leverages robust processes and time-saving technologies – your firm may be missing out on valuable, interesting new projects.
Our team at the Proposal Lab uses RFPIO, an innovative proposal automation platform that improves collaboration, clarifies responsibilities, increases accountability, and eliminates many repetitive, labour-intensive tasks that do little to enhance the likelihood of winning architecture proposals.
