Abstract: | A multivariate approach to contract bidding strategies in the construction industry is presented. This represents a radical departure from previous work in the field by using all available data on competing bidders. "Optimal", "no loss" and "break even" mark-up strategies are derived and methods of parameter estimation proposed. A case study shows how the three strategic mark-up values are calculated against known competitors. |
