How Drillbid Matches You with the Right Consultant

When you need a geotechnical consultant for your project, you might already have someone in mind. Maybe you've Googled a few options. Perhaps you work with a trusted firm.

That's great—but are you sure you're not missing cost-saving opportunities?

Here's what most developers don't realize: there might be existing investigations nearby that could reduce your scope by 30-60%. Or a specialist with relevant local experience who could deliver better results. Or a company you've never heard of that has the exact data you need.

What You Might Be Missing

Even if you can find a consultant easily, here's what's harder to discover:

• Existing nearby data: Investigations within 200-500m that could reduce your costs by 30-60% through avoiding redundant work
• Local specialists: Firms with deep experience in your specific area and project type
• Competitive offers: Companies with relevant expertise who might offer better pricing because they have existing data

This information isn't publicly accessible. It's scattered across company databases, past projects, and industry relationships.

That's where we come in.

Our Four-Step Matching Process

1. You Submit Your Project

Just describe your project in your own words. We need:

• Location: Where the project is located
• Project description: What you're planning (foundation work, contamination study, bedrock investigation, etc.)
• Timeline: When you need work completed
• Budget range (optional): Helps us match with appropriately-sized companies

No overwhelming forms. Just tell us what you need, and we'll take care of the rest.

2. We Act as Your Geotechnical Advisors

This is where we become your expert liaison. Our geotechnical engineers don't just review your project—we work as your advisors to ensure you're asking for the right things:

First, we review public geotechnical data: We search existing investigations, geological surveys, and public records. If there's relevant data within 200-500m, we analyze it to understand ground conditions. This is often the biggest cost saver—leveraging existing data can reduce your investigation scope and costs by 30-60%.

Second, we help you define scope: Based on available data and your project needs, we assess what investigations you actually require. This prevents over-scoping (wasting money) and under-scoping (delays and rework). We help formulate a proper project brief (uppdragsbeskrivning) so consultants know exactly what to propose.

Third, we identify the right expertise: Foundation specialists, contamination experts, bedrock investigators, or firms with specific local knowledge—we determine who's best suited for your specific needs.

Think of us as your in-house geotechnical expert for the procurement process. We'll contact you within 24-48 hours to discuss our findings and recommendations.

3. We Identify Companies with Relevant Experience

Here's where our network and data intelligence combine. We identify companies in our network who match your needs based on:

• Geographic coverage: Companies who claim to have completed work in your area
• Expertise type: Foundation specialists, contamination experts, bedrock investigators
• Project similarity: Firms who've reported similar scope and complexity
• Availability: Companies actively taking new projects

You'll see what each company claims to have done—their self-reported project experience in your area. We recommend verifying their references to ensure they have the expertise they claim.

4. You Receive Proposals and Choose

Within 3-5 business days, you'll receive qualified proposals from matched consultants—companies who understand your project and are genuinely interested in the work.

Each proposal includes scope, timeline, and pricing. You review, verify their credentials, ask questions, and choose the right fit for your project.

We facilitate the introduction and can help with scope clarification if needed. After that, you work directly with the consultant.

What You Gain

Existing data discovery: We automatically check for nearby investigations you wouldn't know about. This alone can reduce costs by 30-60% by avoiding redundant work.

Expert scoping: Our geotechnical engineers help define what you actually need, preventing over-scoping (wasted money) and under-scoping (delays).

Competitive offers: Get proposals from specialists you might not find through Google or existing contacts—often with better pricing because they have relevant local data.

Pre-vetted quality: All firms in our network are established companies with proven track records. No cold calling unknown consultants.

Fast turnaround: We respond in 24-48 hours. Matched companies propose within 3-5 days. Average total time: 12 days.

"But I Already Have a Consultant"

Perfect! If you have a trusted relationship with a geotechnical firm, that's valuable.

But here's why checking with us still makes sense:

Existing nearby data: Even if you trust your consultant, they might not know about investigations done by competitors nearby. We check across our entire network. Finding existing data can reduce your investigation costs by 30-60%, regardless of who does the work.

Specialist expertise: Your usual consultant might not be the specialist for this specific project type or location. Getting competitive proposals ensures you're getting the best fit.

Cost verification: Having multiple qualified offers helps verify you're getting fair pricing and appropriate scope.

We're not trying to replace good relationships. We're helping you make sure you're not overpaying or missing cost-saving opportunities on this specific project.
