Writing
a professional residential painting bid is important for winning the bid. In some instances the contractor with the
strongest technical proposal are interviewed to be considered for the list of
finalists. It is important that you
write a strong bid letter so get the measurements and details for the paint job
before you write the painting bid.
Knowledge of the requirements
Before
you prepare the bid make sure that you have a full understanding of the SOW or
RFP by studying the specifications of the job.
Measure everything so you can calculate how much materials you will
need. Talk about the colors and make
sure that you get the clients input about the job. Estimate your manpower and how many workers
you will need to complete the job. Examine all of the specifications and read
the RFP several times.
Write your Bid Response
Start
the first paragraph about your company, your experience, expertise, and your
work references.
Second Paragraph
Tell
the client or evaluator how you plan to deliver, how your firm will perform
what rooms will get custom painting, or if cabinets will be removed and
stripped and stained.
Cost
The
price you are offering in the bid should come out of the budget detail, the
materials, and labor.
Professional Packaging
Use
your company letterhead stationery. The painting bid should look professional
on good quality paper. Use a glossy cover. Include sample color schemes,
computer generated photos of how the finished turnout of the room will look
after painting. Include your contact information, brochure and business card.
