Bids, Tenders & Submissions

Make a clear case for why your practice is right for the opportunity.

We work with your team to understand the brief, identify what the client or judging panel needs to see, and draw out the experience that supports your response. We then structure and write a submission that addresses the criteria and communicates your strengths.

Our support includes EOIs, tenders, design competitions and award entries, along with the capability statements, project histories and team profiles that support them.

Expression of Interest (EOI)

An EOI needs to establish why your practice should be considered. We help select relevant experience, explain your capability and present a focused response that addresses the brief and gives the client a clear reason to take the conversation further.

Request for Tender (RFT)

We work with your team to understand the requirements, develop the key messages and organise the evidence behind your response. We shape technical and project information into clear, persuasive content that addresses the evaluation criteria and shows how you would approach the work.


Awards & Competitions

We interview your team to uncover what makes the project distinctive, then develop a narrative grounded in evidence and aligned with the judging criteria. For design competitions, we help articulate the thinking behind your proposal and how it responds to the brief.

Capability Statements & Team Profiles

We help you present the experience and people most relevant to the opportunity. From practice capability statements to principal biographies, team profiles and CVs, we organise and write material that makes your strengths clear to prospective clients and evaluation panels.


Project Sheets & Collateral

We turn project information into concise, relevant evidence of your capability. Through conversations with your team, we draw out the challenges, decisions and outcomes that matter to the opportunity, then create project sheets or refresh existing material to support your submission.


We’ve spent years writing submissions, project narratives and communications for some of Australia’s leading architecture & design practices.

We understand how juries assess award entries, how clients evaluate capability statements and how tender panels review submissions. We bring that understanding to the questions we ask, the evidence we select and the way we shape your response.

Good writing matters.

Understanding what decision-makers are looking for matters even more.
