Who this template is for
Construction Bid Proposal is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.
- Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in construction.
- Teams who need to collect the same complete information from everyone without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 35 questions across 3 screens.
Why this form is useful

- It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
- It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
- It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
- It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- It allows multiple selections without free text.
- It captures a numeric value you can filter and sort on.

Logic and conditions blueprint
Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 3 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features conditional validation: if “Are there provisional sums in this price?” is Yes, “List the provisional sums and what they cover” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features conditional validation: if “Can you start on the date in the tender?” is No, we would need a different date, “Earliest start date you can commit to” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features conditional validation: if “Will any of this package be subcontracted?” is Yes, “Which sections, and to whom” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- All 3 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form
How is this different from an estimate approval form?
Estimate approval is a client saying yes to a price you sent. This is a contractor answering a tender package, with revisions priced, a breakdown and a validity period.
Should retention and contract terms be in here?
No. Ask for payment terms sought and leave the rest to negotiation, or bidders start attaching their own contracts instead of pricing your scope.
Can subcontractors use it?
They can, but the Subcontractor Bid Form asks about supervision, RAMS and site labour, which is what a main contractor actually needs from a trade package.
What if the tender changes mid-bid?
Issue the revision, and because each submission records what it priced, you can see instantly which bids need re-pricing.
Is the Construction Bid Proposal template free to use?
Yes. You can preview and test Construction Bid Proposal on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.
What does the Construction Bid Proposal template ask for?
It asks 35 questions across 3 pages, 21 of which are required. Every question is listed in full further down this page, and each one can be renamed, reordered, made optional or deleted after you copy the template.
Can I edit the Construction Bid Proposal form after copying it?
Yes — the copy is entirely yours. Change wording, add or remove questions, switch between the classic layout, restyle it to match your brand, and set who gets notified on each submission.

Where do responses to the Construction Bid Proposal form go?

Can I embed the Construction Bid Proposal form on my own website?
Yes. Publish the form and paste the embed snippet into any page or share the direct link. The embedded form resizes to fit its container and loads no advertising or marketing trackers inside the iframe.
Can respondents upload files?
Yes. This template includes a file upload question, so respondents can attach documents or photos with their answers. You can adjust the accepted file types and size limits on that question.
Is the signature on this form legally usable?
The template captures a drawn signature and stores it with the submission, along with the timestamp, so you keep evidence of who agreed and when. Whether that is sufficient depends on your jurisdiction and the agreement itself.
