Bid & Proposal Support

Polished bid packages and proposal templates that win larger commercial work.

Overview

Owners lose more bids to weak presentation than to weak pricing. When a $20M pursuit comes down to two qualified firms, the one with the crisper proposal wins — every time.

We handle the full presentation side: SOQs, proposal templates, and project showcases that stand up next to the largest firms bidding your same work. Your team focuses on scope and price; we handle the polish and hit your submittal deadline.

What's included

Everything below is scoped, delivered, and reported against real pursuit outcomes — never busywork.

SOQ + capability statements

On-brand statements of qualification tailored to owner, market segment, and specific RFP requirements.

Not the same PDF you've been sending for four years.

Proposal templates

Reusable InDesign and Word templates that let your BD team turn out consistent, high-design proposals in hours instead of pulling all-nighters.

Project showcase sheets

One-page project sheets for every completed job — ready to drop into any pursuit package the moment the RFP hits.

Live pursuit support

On-call design and copy support during active bids.

We hit your submittal deadline, not ours — nights and weekends included when the pursuit warrants it.

How it runs

A tight four-phase process. You always know what's shipping, when, and why.

01

Audit

Review current SOQs, proposals, and win/loss debriefs to find the presentation gaps costing you awards.

Sometimes it's one bad page.

02

Template build

Design master templates and a project sheet library — populated with your real project data, not lorem ipsum.

03

Train + hand off

BD team training so most day-to-day pursuits run from templates without agency involvement.

You keep control.

04

Concierge retainer

Ongoing on-call support for major pursuits.

Outcomes you can measure

Higher win rate on pursuits above $5M where presentation actually differentiates

Faster proposal turnaround — templates instead of one-off design sprints

Consistent brand presence across every submittal, every office, every time

Built for commercial, not consumer

Selling to commercial contractors is a different game than B2C marketing. These buyers are relationship-driven and ROI-obsessed.

They hate wasted meetings and won't sit through a 30-page strategy deck. We move at your pace and show real work early.

Every recommendation is scoped against a real pursuit — an ITB, a bid list, or an account you're actively chasing. Nothing gets built for vanity.

You'll see results tied to pipeline, not clicks. Reporting rolls up to bids won, projects awarded, and revenue booked.

FAQs

How fast can you turn a proposal?

For retainer clients, 48-hour turnarounds are standard for template-based proposals. 5–7 days for custom-designed pursuits.

RFP tomorrow? Call us.

Do you write technical content?

We handle design, layout, and narrative polish. Technical scope, means, and methods stay with your PMs and estimators — but we edit hard for clarity.

Can you handle public works and federal submittals?

Yes. We've built SF 330s, DBE narratives, and PLA responses.

We know the formatting rules and page-limit gymnastics.

Do you only work with commercial contractors?

Yes. Every engagement is with a commercial GC, electrical, HVAC, mechanical, roofing, concrete, or specialty firm.

We don't split focus with residential remodelers or retail service work — the buying cycles are too different.

What does an engagement actually cost?

Most engagements run $2,500–$12,000 per month depending on scope. We scope against your revenue, pursuit volume, and target markets — never a template price.

You get a fixed monthly number, month-to-month, no long contracts.

How fast do we see results?

Speed matters as much to us as it does to you. Most services show measurable movement inside 30–60 days — not the 6-month runway a big agency will quote you.

We prototype and ship, then iterate against what the numbers say.

How do you handle our data and client info?

US-based team, signed NDAs on day one, scoped systems access, and audit logs on anything financial or client-sensitive. We work under your MSA if you have one.
