Capability Statement FAQs
What is a capability statement?
A capability statement is an overview that showcases your business: what you do, who you serve and why you’re qualified. It’s a must-have for tenders, panels, and procurement teams. Government agencies, tier-one contractors and large procurement teams all expect businesses to have a professional capability statement. In fact, it’s often the first thing they ask for.
Why do I need a capability statement for construction tenders?
Most government and tier-one contractors won’t even consider you without one. A strong capability statement for construction puts your business on the radar.
What makes a good capability statement?
Clarity, credibility and relevance. It should be tailored to your audience, highlight your strengths, and look professionally designed, not like it was patched together last minute.
How is your capability statement service different?
We don’t use templates or generic fluff. We shape your message, align it with market expectations, and design it for real-world impact. We focus on strategy, not just formatting.
Do you provide a capability statement sample?
Both. Whether you’re launching a new venture or repositioning a 30-year-old name, we tailor your brand strategy to your growth goals and market position.
What assets do we walk away with?
Yes, you can check out a range of capability statement samples tailored to different industries, company sizes and contract types.
What industries do you write capability statements for?
Construction, infrastructure, defence, mining, government services, and professional trades. If procurement teams are involved, we know the terrain.
Can you write a capability statement for a builder?
Absolutely. We specialise in capability statements for builders, from tier 3 contractors to emerging builder-developers looking to grow their profile.
What does your capability statement process involve?
We handle strategy, copywriting, structure, compliance and design. You’ll get a professionally built document that reflects your business – not just your logo on a page.
How long does it take to create a capability statement?
We can usually turn one around in 2–3 weeks, depending on how fast we get your input. But if you need it faster we can arrange a rush service.
Is your capability statement service available across Australia?
Yes. We work with businesses all over Australia – metro, regional and remote. Capability statement Australia requirements vary slightly across the country, and we stay across every change.
What’s your win rate for tenders?
We help our clients achieve win rates up to 75% on government and EOI submissions. That’s 50% above industry average – and no, that’s not a typo.
Can you help us improve internal bid capability?
Yes. If you want to build internal skills, we offer tools and guides to help your team act as their own bid consultants. We can create professional, easy-to-use tender templates and arrange InDesign training so your team can handle tenders internally.
