Tendering
In its simplest form, tendering is the process
by which an organisation who is in need of
goods/services invites other parties to
submit a proposal or bid to provide these
goods/services. This invitation is formally
referred to as a Request for Tender (RFT).

Bidding
• Bidding is an offer
(often competitive) to set
a price tag by an individual
or business for
a product or service or a
demand that something be
done.[1] Bidding is used to
determine the cost
or value of something.

What is a project brief?
The project brief is the final stage in the
process of defining the client's
requirements for the development of a built
asset such as a building. It follows the
preparation of a number of earlier, less
detailed briefing documents:

Integrated
Project Delivery
BIM tools facilitate early analysis, assessment, and
decision making by allowing team members to
communicate and visualise vast amounts of
complex project information in a systematic and
consistent way.
Incorporating detailed information from all team
participants into a single integrated model can
reduce construction time and material waste and a
resource-efficient project.

Functional performance
Designers can analyse many more design options to
optimize the desired performance characteristics of their
designs. For example, they can calculate the costs of

Early involvement of project managers in the design process
enables increased consideration for the constructability and costs
as design decisions are being made.
Benefits to The improved reliability and consistency of BIM-based designs can
constructors lower construction costs by enabling many components to be
prefabricated off-site in advance. Prefabricated components by
virtue of being made in controlled factory environments, are
and project typically lower cost and lower risk by avoiding unpredictable field
conditions.
managers Team members responsible for schedule planning and cost control
can use the information in the composite project model throughout
the construction process to measure the impacts of design changes
and field conditions upon the predicted schedule and budget
predictions, enabling project managers to better plan and allocate
resources in the day-to-day operations at the construction site.
Early input from all the disciplines and
perspectives involved in the project yields

owners Project teams can tap into diverse
perspectives, ranging the facility operations
staff to the actual building users, to improve
the functionality of design decisions.
BIM as a platform of collaboration among all teams in a project
IPD can provide superior outcomes over a
wide range of project types, but it is not
appropriate for every project or owner.

Building Information Modelling (BIM)= 3D
BIM + time = 4D
