Engineering Proposals
Proposal Writing for Engineering Firms
We help engineering firms secure valuable projects and attract new clients through bold, clear, and visually appealing proposals crafted by our team of skilled writers and graphic designers.
We Know Your Language
Engineering proposals need to balance accurately showcasing a firm’s technical expertise while remaining accessible to the reader. Our writers are here to help you translate your strengths and successes into clear, easy-to-understand language, ensuring that your firm’s qualifications are evident.
Sharing the Blueprints
Over the past decade, we have submitted approximately 30 engineering proposals to nearly 20 firms specializing in electrical, mechanical, structural, and civil engineering across North America. This extensive experience has allowed us to develop a unique perspective and a deep understanding of how to create clear, precise, and persuasive engineering proposals.
The Hallmarks of a Winning Engineering Proposal
A successful engineering proposal goes beyond merely showcasing technical qualifications; it establishes a strong connection between your skills and the unique challenges faced by the client. To make your bid truly exceptional and unforgettable, concentrate on these three essential areas:
Lead With Your Team’s Expertise
In engineering, your team is your greatest asset. Tailor each resume and bio to the project at hand so the client sees exactly how your people meet their specific needs. Make it crystal clear how each engineer’s credentials or past projects directly equip them to solve the challenges in this RFP.
Plan for the Unexpected
Every project hits snags – what matters is how you handle them. Show that your firm doesn't panic when "stuff happens" by highlighting examples of obstacles you've overcome in past projects. Explain how your team navigated the issue and kept things on track, whether it's a supply chain delay or a design change mid-stream.
Make Past Projects Count
Don't just recycle generic project descriptions. Customize your case studies to mirror the client's project and priorities. Point out the similarities between your past successes and the job you're pursuing – this confirms you have the right experience and instills confidence that you can do it again.
