Bids built the way a plant buys

Industrial is a market, not a trade, and the plant already has rules — your bid just has to show you know them. The AI that writes your quotes is told the shutdown window is the constraint, and that safety and access are billable lines: badging, lockout, fire watch and crane time go on the bid where the plant manager can see them.

Updated September 26, 2026

What a plant buyer expects — and what changes

The outage window is the whole negotiation

Every price states which shutdown or turnaround window it assumes, with shift premium, overtime and double-time rates and a separate mobilization for each window.

Day one is lost to access

Orientation and badging, escorts, lockout/tagout, confined-space entry, hot-work permits and fire watch, scaffold, rigging and crane time are priced as lines, not overhead you eat.

T&M and not-to-exceed are normal here

Ask for time-and-materials or a not-to-exceed and that is what you get, with the rate basis stated instead of a fixed price nobody asked for.

Sections named for the asset

Industrial bids run 10 to 40 lines — fewer and larger than a remodel, each carrying its own assumption or exclusion:

Asset
“Line 3”, “Boiler 2”, “Tank Farm”
Window
the outage the price assumes
Rate basis
shift premium, overtime and double-time, stated

How your quotes come out

Quotes here are built the way a plant buys: sections named for the asset — Line 3, Boiler 2, the tank farm — a price that states which outage window it assumes, and fewer, larger lines that each carry their own assumption or exclusion. Ask for time-and-materials or a not-to-exceed and that is what you get, rate basis stated. And because your customer is a plant and not a homeowner, the signed contract carries no three-day cancellation notice.

Questions from industrial contractors

Does picking Industrial change my trade setup?

No. Industrial is a buyer market, so your price book, job sections and schedule stay the standard setup for whatever trade you run. What changes is how the AI writes the bid and what the signed contract carries.

Can I quote time-and-materials or a not-to-exceed?

Yes. When the job is described that way, the quote is written that way, with the rate basis stated.

Does the contract include the three-day cancellation notice?

No. Your customer is a plant, not a homeowner, so the signed contract leaves that notice out.
