They are flexible in their approach, able to integrate with your team’s workflows and operate either independently or in close partnership, depending on your preferences and project requirements.
Virtual Bid Managers utilize a variety of digital tools such as email, video conferencing, project management platforms, and document sharing systems to facilitate seamless communication and collaboration. They establish regular check-ins, virtual meetings, and transparent channels for updates, ensuring effective coordination with team members and clients regardless of geographical locations.
Collaboration with a Virtual Bid Manager begins with an initial consultation to establish project specifics. Subsequently, quantities are meticulously reviewed through markups, and material and labor prices are adjusted based on quotes from local suppliers and subcontractors. The Bid Manager meticulously fulfils all bid requirements within the documents and bid form. Ultimately, after a final consultation with the owner or project manager, the refined bid is submitted.
Engaging a Virtual Bid Manager typically ranges from $25 to $35 per hour or a project-based fee of $200 to $2,000 or more, based on project intricacy. Pricing structures may include hourly rates, fixed fees, percentage of project value, or personalized packages to suit specific requirements.
We place a high priority on confidentiality. To safeguard sensitive information, we establish a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with our clients. This legally binding agreement ensures that all shared data remains private and is not disclosed to any unauthorized entities.
The success rate of Virtual Bid Managers in winning bids for clients can vary, especially considering competition dynamics. Sometimes, General Contractors (GCs) bid with low overhead and profit margins, making it challenging to secure contracts. However, after analyzing results from 3 to 4 bids, it becomes easier to adjust strategies and make subsequent bids more competitive, increasing the chances of winning contracts. This iterative process of refining strategies based on previous outcomes often leads to improved success rates over time.
