Tender Preparation

Our Tender Preparation at Benchmark Surveys

We understand that accuracy is crucial to your company’s performance and tendering outcome. Our detailed surveys provide the precise data needed for successful bid submissions.

Benchmark Surveys NT provides comprehensive surveying support throughout the tender preparation process to help clients deliver compliant, accurate, and competitive submissions. By engaging us early in the design and concept stages, we can identify opportunities to save both time and money through precise measurement, analysis, and optimisation of quantities, volumes, and levels.

Our team works closely with estimators, designers, and project managers to ensure that tender documentation reflects real-world conditions and constructible designs. Through early survey input, we can detect inconsistencies, confirm design feasibility, and produce reliable quantity take-offs and volume models that reduce the risk of variations and rework later in the project.

Our Tender Preparation services include:

  • Tender Review and Scope Analysis – Detailed examination of tender documentation to confirm scope, deliverables, and compliance requirements.
  • Site and Resource Assessment – Preliminary review of site conditions and constraints using existing survey data, aerial imagery, or new site surveys if required.
  • Initial grid set out for earthworks
  • Design and Document Review – Verification of drawings, models, and specifications to identify potential discrepancies and optimisation opportunities.
  • Pricing and Cost Estimation Support – Providing accurate surface models, quantities, and levels to support cost planning and accurate competitive pricing.
  • Programme and Deliverables Planning – Input into construction sequencing, deliverables, and schedule development to align with project milestones.
  • Mass Haul and Project Volumes – Preparation of detailed volume calculations and mass haul diagrams for efficient earthworks planning and cost forecasting.
  • Final Review and Submission Support – Coordination of all survey-related inputs for final tender submission, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and consistency across all documents.
