In this guide, we’re taking a practical look at how these contracts work, what they should cover, and how they’re used in real-world construction across the US and Australia.

The Hidden Cost of Poor Tendering Construction tendering should lead to healthy profit, but for many UK builders it does the opposite. Deadlines slip. Estimates get rushed. Entire bids fail on small technical errors before price is even checked. Hours of effort vanish, and firms feel forced to slash margins just to stay afloat. If your team works flat out yet wins fewer than half its tenders, the problem runs deeper than price.
