She is familiar with construction based writing, including complex technical methodologies, detailed project information and client specific bid content.

Bid.Shape.Shake was built on a simple idea: good businesses miss opportunities when the they're not communicating clearly. In construction, that can show up anywhere, in a tender response, a capability statement or a brand as a whole. We help clients shape what they want to say, shapen how they say it and build the tools the you need to show up more clearly in the market. When your strategy is focused on the right things, results become consistent.

01

Break through your growth ceiling

If you’ve hit a ceiling or are struggling to move into government or higher-value work, we show you how to fix it. Tap into our strategy process shaped by over $5.8B worth of projects and 80+ tenders delivered across Tier 1, 2 and 3 builders showing you what actually works in competitive tenders.

02

Win work more consistently

We show you how to build a more repeatable approach so that your results are inconsistent so that you’re not relying on one-off wins. Our strategy process used across tenders, capability and submissions is shaped by real project experience, helping you target the right opportunities and structure responses that perform consistently.

03

Make your experience land

When you don’t communicate the nitty-gritty details of ‘every-day’ work, your clients cannot see your process and how you tackle problems. As builders, our experience and know-how is why we are selected for future projects. We are construction writers with experience on some of Australia’s biggest projects. You’ll get a holistic, proven approach to responding in all key areas including projects and methodologies - and skip the trial and testing confusion that most builders undergo.

04

Built on real construction experience

We’ve been trusted by hundred’s of builders to design, write, strategise and develop tender and branding solutions that have made real lasting changes. From family companies to new start ups, our approach working and refining our approach has helped all of our clients step up their bidding 10x faster and more effective than simply status-quo thinking.
