Tender & Specification Advisory

A practical basis for sound decisions.

Good specifications connect the intended function with measurable technical requirements. We help structure the scope so that bidders can price consistently and proposals can be assessed on a common basis.

Needs assessment and scope definition
Door schedules and quantity analysis
Functional specifications
Technical schedules and bills of quantities
System comparisons and bid evaluation
Technical support during procurement
Clear boundaries for supply, installation, commissioning, training and maintenance

Are the quantities, interfaces and required services defined clearly enough for comparable offers?

WHEN THIS SUPPORT IS USEFUL

Once the concept needs to become a scope that bidders can understand, price and demonstrate.

Missing quantities, vague interfaces and manufacturer-led wording make offers difficult to compare and leave gaps between trades.

QUESTIONS WE CLARIFY

Is every requirement linked to a function or an operational need?
Are supply, installation, programming, testing and handover included?
What evidence will demonstrate functional equivalence?
Which exclusions and assumptions must bidders state explicitly?

WHAT THE CLIENT RECEIVES

System-open performance descriptions and structured quantities
A scope and interface matrix, including programming and handover
Technical comparison criteria and a register of clarifications

USEFUL STARTING INFORMATION

Agreed requirements and current schedules
Scope boundaries and procurement stage

A TANGIBLE DELIVERABLE

One specification.
A matching offer schedule.

Clear position numbers connect technical requirements with the bidder’s offer. Basic scope, additional needs and ongoing services stay distinct.

OUR PLANNING APPROACH

Clarity at every stage.

01

Understand

Building use, risks and requirements.

02

Structure

Functions, interfaces and responsibilities.

03

Specify

Clear, system-open technical requirements.

04

Support

Decisions, procurement and implementation.

YOUR FIRST STEP

Bring the project.
We help structure the decisions.

Tell us the building’s use, your project phase and the question you need to resolve. Existing plans, a door schedule or a draft specification provide a useful starting point.

We clarify the advice needed and agree the next step with you. Project work may cover a functional concept, technical specifications, tender comparison or coordination through testing and handover.

CONSULTATION

€150 net per consultation appointment, plus VAT

Discuss your requirements, available documents and next planning decisions. Detailed concepts, specifications and further project support are scoped and quoted separately.

Sending an enquiry does not book a paid appointment. The appointment and its terms are agreed with you beforehand.
