Getting the best construction costs isn’t just about choosing the cheapest contractor. It starts with a smart tendering process that gives you control, clarity and confidence in your project. Whether you're a property owner planning works or part of the construction industry, understanding how tendering works is key to saving money and avoiding problems later down the line.

In this video, we’ll explain the tendering process in plain English – what it is, why it matters, and how to use it properly.

Here’s what we cover:
✔️ What tendering means in construction and why it exists
✔️ How tendering helps you keep costs competitive while protecting quality
✔️ The role of good tender documents, including drawings, specifications and contract terms
✔️ The different types of tendering: open, selective, negotiated, serial and two stage – and when to use each
✔️ Pros and cons of short vs long tender periods
✔️ Why longer tender periods often lead to better pricing and fewer risks
✔️ Common mistakes to avoid when reviewing bids or writing your brief

The right tendering strategy can lead to better outcomes, less financial risk, and a smoother build process overall. It can also help you spot inflated prices, under qualified contractors and gaps in cost estimates before they become expensive problems.

If you’re working on a project and want to make sure you’re doing things the right way, this guide will help.
