Business development for contractors

Win more work. Waste less time.

We find the work. We help you win it. You deliver it.

McGideon delivers business development solutions for construction and building services contractors. Our RADAR intelligence system finds the work - advertised, hidden on regional portals, or never tendered at all - and we do the chasing: outreach, follow-ups and bid writing.

Why McGideon

Built for contractors who should be winning more work.

A system, not a scramble. Everything from finding the work to winning it runs as one single process.

01Discover

We start by looking at where your work comes from today, where it should be coming from, and what is getting in the way.

02Target

RADAR finds the work worth going for in your trade and your patch, including the contracts that never reach a portal.

03Engage

We put you in front of the buyers and main contractors who let the work, before the shortlist is drawn up.

04Bid

When a bid is worth making, we draft it. Tenders, PQQs and proposals, ready for you to price and sign off.

05Win

Every bid is chased to a decision, so nothing goes quiet between submission and contract.

06Grow

Every month we go through what won, what didn't and why, and change what we do next.

Take one part or the whole system.

Who Won What and RADAR Intelligence find the work for you.

RADAR Plus does everything else.

What contractors say about McGideon.

“After the initial strategy session with Gavin, it was clear there was real value in continuing to work with him. We've been able to strengthen our business development, improve our marketing and use automation more effectively to win more of the right work.”

“McGideon has given our construction business a clear structure for growth. You've already got what most companies trying to scale don't - proven systems, great technology and a genuine understanding of our business.”
