3.4 Bidding Administration
All Kinds of Buildings in Schematic or Working Design
Bidding & Negotiation involves organizing a bidding process, making a contractor selection, and negotiating a construction contract. While in some cases clients have a contractor in mind there are other situations where clients may have a favored contractor but also wants to consider other contractors and create competitive bidding. There are other cases where the clients do not know which contractor to use or may be inexperienced in the selection process. Selecting a contractor and negotiating the construction contract is an extremely important part of any project and should be conducted judiciously. As highly experienced professionals we have a selection process that will make it easy for clients to choose the best contractor for you and your specific project.
When properly conducted, a competitive bidding process is the most reliable way to obtain high-quality work at a reasonable price. However, when poorly planned and hastily conducted, this process can quickly lead to confusion which leaves clients unsure about how to proceed. The best way to get a true comparison on competitive proposals from multiple contractors is to have a qualified engineering or architectural firm prepare a complete set of construction/bidding documents based on well-defined goals and clear budget guidelines that have been previously established.
These documents serve as a set of standards on which the bids can be fairly and accurately compared, and the selected contractor will use them as blueprints for performing the work. In addition, the drawings in the documents will be needed to apply for a construction permit, which is necessary for most remodeling projects in addition to new builds.
Market knowledge and professional experience allows us to offer clients comprehensive bidding services which are critical to the successful completion of all construction projects. Bidding services ensure that contractors are providing proposals that are clear and consistent in the proposed scope of work. An analysis of the bids is conducted and summarized so clients fully understand them and can compare proposals at a glance. We work with a wide range of quality contractors and can assist our clients in making an educated and informed decision so the project can be completed successfully.

In design, we bring characteristics of the natural world into built spaces, such as water, greenery, and natural light, or elements like wood and stone. Encouraging the use of natural systems and processes in design allows for exposure to nature, and in turn, these design approaches improve health and wellbeing. There are a number of possible benefits, including reduced heart rate variability and pulse rates, decreased blood pressure, and increased activity in our nervous systems, to name a few.
Over time, our connections to the natural world diverged in parallel with technological developments. Advances in the 19th and 20th centuries fundamentally changed how people interact with nature. Sheltered from the elements, we spent more and more time indoors. Today, the majority of people spend almost 80-90% of their time indoors, moving between their homes and workplaces. As interior designers embrace biophilia.
