House Building
The UK economy depends on new housing development. According to experts, house building adds £19.2bn a year to the UK economy. It is an important incentive for house builders to get involved. With the extension of the Government’s ‘Help to Buy scheme’ until 2023, this means low interest rates will continue to help maintain demand for new-build homes post-Brexit.
With the current housing crisis, the demand for the supply of new homes has increased. It is thought that Britain needs to build 250,000 new homes every year to match the requirements of the population.
Propeller Studios has successfully supported many house builders to secure new development opportunities working with Housing Associations and councils.
For instance we have provided a quality tender writing service for an Irish Contractor with a turnover of £50M and secured contract opportunities and tenders to a value of £27M. We have assisted a Southampton based Regional House Builder pre qualify and secure contracts for Hyde Housing, Southampton City Council and Radian.
We have expertise in tendering for traditional and design and house building contracts whether for social rent, affordable rent, shared ownership or open market sale. We also have expertise in the growing extra care and dementia housing sectors.

We just wanted to let you know we have just received confirmation that our tender submission for the above framework has been successful and we are now one of three contractors who have gone forward as the new framework. Can I just say on behalf of everyone here thank you again for your support, assistance, guidance and total commitment to this project, we are thrilled with the outcome and look forward to working again with you very soon on the next big project.”
It is essential for contractors wishing to win work in this sector to have a robust bid strategy which ensures you put your energy into the right bids and that the bid process is managed effectively and results in well structured, well presented, compelling and compliant tenders that leave your prospect in no doubt that your company represents best value for money and will deliver their project on time, on budget and to the best quality.

Our bid response professionals have held senior positions in the construction industry and are hugely experienced in social housing and house building.
