Consider their experience with similar projects, rates and reputation. Check their BOQ and drawings to ensure they align with your vision

Consider evaluating contractors based on their experience with similar projects, BOQ compliance, and site management capabilities. A thorough review of their tender documents and drawings is also crucial.

I've found that contractor reliability and communication are just as important as rates and compliance. Ask about their project management process and how they handle issues that arise during construction.

I've had issues with contractors not following drawings, ensure you have a clear scope and timeline in the tender, and don't hesitate to ask about their experience with similar projects

It's crucial to assess the contractor's communication style and responsiveness during the tender process. A contractor who clarifies your drawings and promptly addresses concerns can significantly impact project success. Don't hesitate to ask for references too.
