We help our contractor clients grow using the right BD system.

What we do

Many contractors in construction and heavy industry suffer from a common challenge of not knowing how to approach business development. When the work flows, nobody’s thinking of BD. When there’s no work, panic BD kicks in. At The BD Edge, we know:

  • When there's no BD strategy, quality tenders don’t flow

  • ‘Panic BD' falls well short of systems that work

  • The perception that BD is cold calls, coffees, catch ups and not much else means you’re leaving opportunities on the table

  • Business owners are often the roadblock to the growth they seek.

  • A BD strategy consistently implemented will always trump reactivity, but most contractors don’t know where to start.

What can you expect from us? Honesty about what BD works and what doesn’t, so you can build the business you want.

If you’re thinking about your firm’s BD approach, we’re always open to a conversation. Reach out anytime.

who we work with

We’ve worked in construction and heavy industry contracting firms like you and understand the challenges of bringing in and delivering work in a complex, highly pressured environment. Our mission? To help contractors go to market with strength, professionalism, and certainty based on a strong, effective BD system that works.

Here's who we work with:

  • Medium to large sized specialist contractors whose clients are major contractors and public/private sector asset owners. They are ready to move beyond reactive business development to a system that works.

  • Specialist consulting firms like project management firms and independent project advisors. They have difficulty sourcing a strategy business development professional and are ready to invest in BD support and education.

  • Contractors and engineers entering the market as independent consultants who have specialist knowledge, skills, and experience but lack BD know how. They want to begin as they mean to go on with a professional approach.
