For many years the creation of a proposal was simple and most often hand written, than transcribed on to a word processor. With the introduction of the computer and the countless programs designed to add diagrams, calculations, spreadsheets, documents, and e-mail have changed the style in which technical writing is done.
A proposal would involve an assessment of the area in question, measurements, pictures and a diagram of field of roof, and types of membrane, specifications, as well as customer contact, and involvement. The requirement of a test cut, and or core samples is conducted (this is done in order to comply with State, and manufacture codes and specifications are met). When the information is compiled, the development of a proposal can begin.
Estimation of cost for material and labor is included in the proposal, with company markup. When the pricing is complete, a detailed proposal is created that includes warranty information, price, and production schedule. An attachment of the scope of work always accompanies the proposal, detailing all work that is to be performed as well as start and completion dates. A small summary is integrated in this attachment with an explanation of the inspection and any repairs which would be made.
In a situation in which a standard report would be used in an appropriate manner would be the initial inspection of area of construction proposed, this would prepare and inform the audience, (management, and or customer) of any details involving issues, and the solution. If using a standard report in place of a proposal, it can be done if costumer is a part of the company’s client base. A report includes similar attachments. A proposal is action oriented, as the report recommends this action.
