Generally, fee structuring is the process of estimating project costs for a project plan. It is good practice to start the fee structuring weeks before submitting the tender submission to the client.
Producing accurate yet economic estimating is a must for the Workplace Strategy team if they are going to compete in the market. Both over and under estimating can be dangerous. Over-estimating a tender submission can knock the tendering party out of the running as the client may be suspicious of why the tender submission is so much higher than the other proponents, whereas under-estimating can be just as dangerous to the Workplace Strategy business as they will suffer financial losses, but this can be dangerous to the client business also as the service provided to them may be watered down to mitigate against financial loss to the supplier.
