We are passionate about bridging the knowledge gap between Main Contractors & Subcontractors.

At The Tender Trainers we are passionate about helping to bridge the knowledge gap between Main Contractors & Subcontractors regarding construction tenders.

This knowledge gap can lead to all sorts of misunderstandings & issues over the course of a project!

Tender documents can be a minefield, even for trained Quantity Surveyors and Engineers like us.

And often the information around tendering, estimating, contracts, etc. is wrapped up in legal and technical jargon.

This can make it difficult to understand if you don't have a construction professional background.

We have found that through simple & clear instruction and templates we can give our clients the key pieces of knowledge they need to tender effectively.
