Not only should your Proposal meets the Coventry University’s needs, it should also be within their budget. It should of course also be buildable within their time frame.
Your firm will also have to deal with many other construction-related issues. As you are also bidding to construct the building, you will need fluency with the many key stages involved in a construction project. Not least due consideration with environmental, sustainability and site safety.
In his briefing, the Client may also identify some of the problems he wants you to evaluate and propose potential solutions. You should evaluate carefully your proposed solutions, that they are appropriate, possible and feasible.
