Correct Answer - Option 4 : All of the above

Concept:

Tendering is the process by which the client or employer invites contractors to place a bid for work on a construction project. Contractors’ bids are based on the tender documents issued by the client. The successful tendered becomes the ‘contractor’ and a ‘party’ to a contract with the ‘client’. The tender documents are legally binding and are signed by all parties involved. The completed tender documents become part of the contract documents.

1. Preparation of tender drawings

3. Estimation of cost of work.

4. Site survey
