Construction technical proposal: the complete guide for building companies

Construction is the leading sector in public procurement. Here are the specifics of a construction technical proposal.

The specifics of the technical proposal in construction

Works contracts have specific requirements. The construction technical proposal must demonstrate your operational mastery of the site.

The buyer expects concrete answers: how will you organize the site? What machinery? How will you manage nuisances? What is your waste plan?

The quality assurance plan

The Quality Assurance Plan is almost systematically required in works contracts.

A good plan includes: quality org chart, hold points and critical points, inspection records, material traceability, non-conformity management, tests and self-inspections.

The site schedule: Gantt chart and phasing

The schedule is a frequent evaluation criterion in construction. It must show: major phases, task dependencies, milestones, foreseeable weather periods and coordination with other lots.

A well-made Gantt chart shows your deadlines are realistic.

Site safety and waste management

Safety: Prevention plan, health and safety plan, signage, PPE, safety training, SPS coordination.

Environment: Waste management plan (sorting, recovery channels, tracking slips), measures against nuisances (noise, dust, traffic).

Showcasing your construction references

In construction, references are crucial. For each reference: nature of works, amount, dates, client, project manager, completion certificate.

Before/after photos are a significant plus. Private contracts count too, as long as they are similar.
