Surface earthworks tenders, priced to protect your position.

Civil and earthworks packages on mining and resources projects, where the schedule of rates is the contract and the productivity assumptions decide whether the job makes money. We build the price you can stand behind on a hard-rock or remote site.

Resources civil lives or dies on the schedule of rates. The risk you do not price is the variation you cannot recover.

The problem

On resources work, the price is the position.

  • The schedule of rates is the contract. A rate built on optimistic productivity is a loss locked in before the first cut, with no methodology narrative to hide behind.

  • Plant productivity on hard rock and in remote conditions is nothing like the textbook figures, and a price built on cycle times that never happen bleeds margin every shift.

  • Subcontract and supply pricing arrives late and inconsistent, and reconciling it under tender timeframes is where errors and exposure creep in.

  • Without a pricing-conditions and clarifications schedule, you carry risk that belonged to the principal, and find out at the first claim.

How it plays out

Where RIG earns its place.

Surface earthworks tender

A remote earthworks package where the rate build-up, plant assumptions and subcontract pricing all have to reconcile under a tight tender clock.

RIG’s role

Schedule-of-rates build-up, plant productivity validation, and subcontractor pricing reconciliation.

Protecting the position

A hard-rock site where the conditions of contract quietly shift risk onto the contractor unless it is named and priced.

RIG’s role

A pricing conditions and clarifications schedule that puts the risk back where it belongs.

Exploratory works EOI

An expression of interest on an exploratory tunnelling or drilling package for a major energy or resources project.

RIG’s role

Capability and submission support that gets a regional contractor taken seriously on major work.

The payoff

A price that holds, and risk where it belongs.

  • A schedule of rates built from first principles, defensible line by line.
  • Plant productivity validated against real cycle times, not textbook figures.
  • Subcontract pricing reconciled cleanly inside the tender timeframe.
  • A clarifications schedule that protects your position before you sign.
