Construction & PM Proposals
Proposal Writing for Construction and Project Management Firms
Our team of skilled proposal writers and graphic designers assists construction and project management firms in winning outstanding new opportunities through expertly crafted, visually striking submissions.
We Know Your Language
Construction and project management proposals involve conveying a large amount of information concisely. Each submission must clearly communicate your firm’s project management processes, value engineering implementation, and a collaborative vision for success with your client. Our team of writers can help you articulate the key elements that contribute to your team’s success and demonstrate how you add value to your clients throughout the project lifecycle, from initiation to completion.
A Strong Foundation
Over the past decade, we have submitted more than 150 construction and project management proposals for over 60 clients across North America. This extensive experience has given us a unique perspective and a deep understanding of how to create comprehensive, concise, and compelling proposals in the construction and project management fields.
The Hallmarks of a Winning Construction Proposal
An effective construction proposal must instill confidence in the client, ensuring them that their project will be expertly managed from inception to completion. By honing in on these three critical components, you can avoid common pitfalls and craft a compelling bid that captures attention and stands out in a competitive field:
Make Safety Your Foundation
Don't just pay lip service to job site safety – show it's ingrained in your company culture. Outline how you will keep the worksite safe every single day, from morning toolbox talks to fatigue management for long shifts. By detailing how you combat the biggest threats (like complacency or burnout as a project wears on), you prove that safety isn't just a slogan for your team.
Show Your Human Side
In construction, relationships matter. Give the proposal reader a feel for your team's personality and communication style – what will it be like to work with you over a multi-year project? Highlight the soft skills that set your firm apart, like clear communication, adaptability, or a can-do attitude. Clients want a contractor they can trust and collaborate with, not just a vendor with the lowest bid.
Use Your Org Chart as a Roadmap
An organizational chart can be more than a hierarchy diagram; it should tell the story of how the project will be managed. Clearly lay out who is accountable for each task and how issues will be identified, escalated, and resolved. When a client can literally see the chain of command and communication, it builds confidence that your team has a solid plan to steer the project successfully.
