Hi Everyone,I’m currently working on a small engineering team of six people. We’re relatively new in the space but we do a lot of fixes/builds for companies in our area. Recently, we’ve been getting a lot more RFQs in and have responded with some solid proposals. Our proposals have great templates we can use for different scenarios, though, we’ve noticed there is an information gap between what we are given by the client company and what we find out along the course of the project. This frequently causes rework to happen during project cases and we’re looking to eliminate this issue. Ideally, we would like to standardize the intake process so we are missing as little information as possible at project start. We are not facing an issue with winning the bid, rather, we are missing needed information that may not have been included in their schematics/our questions which is causing the rework to happen.However, we are the service company, so we don’t want to hand out forms for clients to fill out and we definitely don’t want to come off as less-than-capable when asking for tons of extra information. We know it really depends on the customer as to how helpful they will be, however, because we are newer to the space, we are getting project request that we haven’t done in the past that leave us with a lot of uncertainty.If you, yourself, work for an engineering company or have experience with this, it would be AWESOME if you’d offer suggestions. Karma coming your way if you do!!Again, during the RFQ /Proposal submission process, we are looking to close this information gap as much as possible so that we can work more efficiently and effectively, with less uncertainty.Thank you so much,Trevor see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
