Winning work and weathering the storm

It’s a buyers’ market in the Construction Industry right now, multiple (and wildly different) tenders are coming in for jobs. If you’re trying to win those jobs how can you make sure your tender makes it to the top of the pile while also setting yourself up for success and not taking on too much risk? If you’re on the other side, wading through those tenders how do you see though the ‘good deals’ to know which contractors are viable.

This workshop will bring together real perspectives of consultants, contractors and subcontractors to help you set up your project and business for success. They will look directly at issues many are facing right now in the industry – how can you be across the key risks – how to price them, how to best capture them, what to look for, and what is a reasonable level of risk to take on.

The more the merrier: if you're thinking of sending the team along get in touch with us at floriana@nziob.org.nz we have a discount of buy 3 tickets, get the 4th FREE!
