RFP's in construction in Canada have become a normal rather than a rarity.  Especially in public procurement. Buyers of construction services are seeking more and more information up front about the overall project approach even after prequalification has occurred.  This requires an approach that compels an owner to select one firm over another in a very competitive market. Many companies spend on ad campaigns and invest in product development in other sectors, but construction is different. How you frame your product must respond to the nature of the request. Because a construction project is a protracted transaction, relationships are the backbone of current and future success. Price is not all that matters when quality-based selection (QBS) is the more favored approach for buyers.  This course is designed to unlock hidden potential to win the project.
