Most construction management software should give contractors the ability to create cost estimates for clients. Knowify allows you to quickly create a budget based on a project’s scope of work that you can markup to cover your overhead and target profit margin. You can then turn this into a professional e-signable proposal in minutes. Knowify includes several proposal templates out-of-the-box. If you don’t see something you like, the team will work with you to create a custom, reusable proposal template free of charge.
A construction proposal is a document created by a contractor that’s sent to a potential client with the goal of outlining a project including estimated costs and a project timeline, while also convincing the client that the contractor’s business is the right one to complete the work.
It’s best to think of a proposal as both informative and persuasive. Doing so will guide the information you include in your proposals.
A typical construction proposal is going to include information like a description of the project, detailed cost estimates, an estimated timeline, and payment terms.
Since a proposal is also a sales document, it should include things like company information, references, and even examples of similar work you’ve done in the past.
It’s important that your proposal appears professional as this can separate you from your competition. You’ll want to ensure it’s formatted correctly, includes contact information, a company logo, and a tagline if you have one.
Lastly, you’ll want to make it easy for your potential clients to receive and sign your proposals. Ideally, your construction management software allows you to create proposals, send them over email, and have your clients e-sign them without having to print the proposal or do any extra work.
Yes, Knowify allows you to fully customize your proposals with your company logo, terms and conditions, and more. If the proposal doesn’t look exactly how you’d like it to, Knowify’s team is standing by to help you customize further, and create a proposal that looks exactly how you’d like it to.
Knowify allows you to easily send out professional-looking proposals for signature electronically, and once those proposals are signed and accepted, the job automatically becomes active in Knowify, so you can start tracking your progress and costs against your budget.
If you create a project budget before sending out your proposals, Knowify allows you to easily add markup to that budget, and turn it into a client-ready proposal in just a few clicks.
A construction contract is a legally binding agreement between the contractor and the client that outlines the terms and conditions of a construction project. It includes important details such as the scope of work, project timeline, payment terms, and any other specific requirements related to completing the project.
The contract serves as a protection for both parties, ensuring that the project is completed as agreed upon and providing a framework for resolving any disputes that may arise during the construction process.
Contract management in construction refers to the process of managing contracts throughout the entire construction project. This involves overseeing the negotiation, creation, execution, and administration of contracts between various parties involved in the construction project, such as the owner, contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers.
The goal of contract management in construction is to ensure that all parties involved adhere to the terms and conditions outlined in the contracts, monitor progress, manage risks, resolve disputes, and ultimately deliver the project successfully.
Knowify’s contract jobs tool allows you to set up custom workflows for managing contracts throughout their lifecycle.
