Requesting a bid from Innergy Interiors is straightforward. We need enough project information to confirm our licensing in the applicable state, understand the scope, and prepare a competitive and accurate bid. The more complete the information you provide, the faster we can respond with a bid that covers the right scope at the right specification level.
What to send for a complete bid
The most useful bid request package for a multifamily or commercial interior finishes bid includes the following:
Project drawings. Architectural floor plans for each unit type, dimensioned and showing all rooms. If drawings are not yet available, a project description with unit count, unit type breakdown by bedroom count, and approximate unit sizes allows us to prepare a budget estimate. For commercial projects, tenant improvement drawings or conceptual floor plans.
Unit type matrix. The table identifying each unit type, the number of units of each type, and the finish specification for each type if defined. If the unit type matrix is not yet finalized, provide the unit count and bedroom mix and we will prepare a budget organized by assumed unit type breakdown.
Specification documents. Any finish specification section, interior finish schedule, or product specification documents the architect has produced. If no specification is available, provide a description of the target finish grade, for example Class A garden-style or Class B mid-rise, and we will prepare the bid to the appropriate specification for that grade in the applicable market.
Project schedule. The construction schedule identifying the projected finishes start date and the overall project completion date. If a detailed schedule is not available, the projected occupancy date allows us to work backward to confirm our availability for the finishes phase.
Project address and state. The project address confirms the applicable state for licensing verification and allows us to identify the relevant market for pricing.
Division scope. Identify whether you need all seven divisions, a specific subset, or a standalone division. We price and bid to whatever scope combination the project needs.
How we review and respond
After receiving your bid request, we review the project address to confirm our presence in the applicable state, review the drawings and specification to identify the scope and confirm our understanding, and prepare a complete bid organized by CSI division and by unit type.
For a bid request with complete drawings and a unit type matrix, our standard response time is two business days. For a budget estimate from a project description without drawings, our response time is one business day.
Our bid narrative explicitly lists every scope item included and excluded by division, the specific product parameters we are pricing for each division, and any clarifying assumptions we made in the absence of a complete specification. This bid narrative becomes the scope exhibit to the subcontract if we are awarded.
What happens after the bid
After delivering our bid, we are available for scope clarification, bid leveling discussions, and pre-award site visits if the project warrants them. We are happy to participate in a bid review meeting to walk through our scope inclusions and answer questions before the award decision is made.
If awarded, we schedule the pre-construction meeting within ten days of subcontract execution and begin the startup checklist process described in the project startup article.

We respond to all project inquiries within one business day. If your project is in Texas, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, or Arizona and involves multifamily or commercial interior finishes at any scope level, we want to hear from you.
Budget estimates versus binding bids
Innergy provides two types of pricing responses: budget estimates for early-stage development pro formas and preliminary planning, and binding bids for projects that are ready for subcontract execution.
Budget estimates are prepared from a project description without drawings, organized by division and by finish grade, and reflect current market pricing for the applicable market and specification level. Budget estimates are appropriate for development pro formas, lender cost consultant review, and investor presentations. They are not a commitment to perform at the estimated price.
Binding bids are prepared from complete drawings and a confirmed unit type matrix. They reflect the specific scope of the project as drawn, organized by division, and include the scope inclusions and exclusions list that will become Exhibit A to the subcontract. A binding bid is a commitment to perform the described scope at the stated price, subject to the standard bid validity period of 30 to 60 days from the bid date.
Follow-up after receiving our bid
After receiving our bid, the GC is welcome to request scope clarification, ask about specific inclusion assumptions, or schedule a bid review meeting to walk through the bid narrative. We build time for bid review into our standard process and are available for questions within 24 hours of the bid delivery.
If the bid is competitive and the project is moving toward award, we provide any additional prequalification documentation needed, including updated insurance certificates, current OSHA 300 logs, and project references, within 24 hours of request. For interior finishes bids in TX, WA, OR, CO, UT, NM, or AZ , contact us and we respond within one business day.
Every project we bid gets our full attention regardless of size. A 40-unit affordable housing renovation in Albuquerque and a 300-unit Class A tower in Seattle both receive a complete scope review, a specific product specification for each division, and a bid narrative that allows the GC to make an informed award decision.
Innergy covers Division 6-Finish Carpentry & Cabinets, Division 8-Shower Doors & Mirrors, and Division 9-Flooring for multifamily construction and commercial construction under a single subcontract.
Our bid process represents our commitment to transparency and completeness. Every bid we deliver is a clear representation of exactly what we are prepared to deliver and at what cost. We do not low-ball bids to win awards and make up the margin in change orders. We price what we intend to deliver and deliver what we price.
