WINNING THE TENDER CAN STILL COST YOU MONEY. KEEP READING⬇️

Everyone focuses on winning…
almost no one plans for what happens after.

You submit, you win… then reality hits:

❌ Early project costs hit before payments come in
❌ High-quantity items delayed in ex*****on
❌ Cashflow doesn’t match the work on site

Now you’re stuck funding the project yourself.

This is where most tenders fail, not on paper, but during ex*****on.

A BOQ is not just about pricing to win.
It’s about structuring it so the project actually works financially.

If your tender can’t carry you through the job,
winning it means nothing.

✅HAPPY CLIENT SUBMITTING A CORRECTLY PRICED TENDER WHILE OTHERS ARE STILL GUESSING BOQs

From BOQ to final submission here’s what actually happens:

1️⃣ Break down the BOQ properly (no guessing items)
2️⃣ Apply rate build-up method
(labour + material + plant + risk + profit)
3️⃣ Check for “extra over” and hidden cost items
4️⃣ Align pricing with real site conditions
5️⃣ Final compliance check before submission

Most contractors skip step 2…
and that’s where profit is lost.

By the time it’s printed and submitted,
it’s already too late to fix mistakes.

If you’re preparing a tender, make sure your pricing actually makes sense.

🚧 YOU’RE NOT LOSING TENDERS… YOU ARE LOSING MONEY AFTER YOU WIN THEM.

You land the job.
You celebrate.
Then reality hits.

You quoted R360k…
Materials alone climb to R400k 😐
Labour runs over… timelines stretch…

And by the time you finish?
👉 Your profit is gone. Maybe worse.

That’s not bad luck.
That’s weak pricing.

Most small contractors are still:
❌ Using old rates
❌ Guessing margins
❌ Ignoring regional cost differences

Meanwhile…

📍 KZN labour ≠ Eastern Cape labour
📍 Gauteng steel ≠ Western Cape steel

But you’re pricing like it’s all the same.

That’s how you win a tender… and lose your business slowly.

⸻

💡 Iron Grid Projects fixes this.

We don’t just “fill in your BOQ.”
We break it down, stress-test it, and expose the risks before you submit.

✔ Accurate BOQ pricing
✔ Realistic labour & material rates
✔ Margin protection built in
✔ Tender documentation done properly

No guesswork. No gambling.

⚠️ Stop winning tenders that drain you. Start pricing like a contractor who plans to grow.

📊 YOUR BOQ IS NOT JUST NUMBERS… IT’S YOUR PROFIT ON PAPER.

One mistake in pricing, one missed item, one weak rate and the whole tender falls apart.

That’s why serious contractors don’t guess. They structure.

At Iron Grid Projects, I focus on:
✔ Accurate, market-related pricing
✔ Clear and structured BOQs
✔ Submissions you can stand behind

So when you submit, you’re not hoping… you’re confident.

📩 If you have a BOQ that needs to be done properly, send it through. We are ready to assist.

🚨 LAST-MINUTE TENDER RUSH?

Most contractors don’t lose tenders because of pricing…
They lose them because of rushed, incomplete submissions.

• No time to double-check

That’s where I come in.

At Iron Grid Projects, I handle:
✔ BOQ Pricing
✔ Full Tender Preparation
✔ Compliance Checks

So you can focus on site work while everything is handled properly.

📩 If you have a tender coming up, send it through early.

⚠️ MOST CONTRACTORS DON'T LOSE TENDERS BECAUSE OF PRICING…
THEY LOSE BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY DON'T SEE IN THE BOQ.

This is where things go wrong:

🔴 “Extra over” items are ignored
🔴 Hard material vs soft material is not separated
🔴 Backfilling is priced as one rate
🔴 Hidden work items are not accounted for

One missed detail like this can:

Kill your profit
Or get your tender disqualified

On this BOQ, I made sure:
✔ All conditions are properly separated
✔ Every “extra over” is accounted for
✔ Rates reflect real site conditions

This is not just pricing…
This is risk control.

If you’re submitting a tender, I can rework your BOQ before submission and help you avoid costly mistakes.
