What we learned judging them

We've read thousands of capability statements. Most don't make the cut.

Most never get read. They're too long and too dense, landing on someone who has minutes, not hours. The firm is usually excellent, the document just buries it. What gets through isn't the longest. It's the clearest.

What gets binned

  • Too long to read when you've got minutes, not hours
  • Walls of unbroken text with no hierarchy
  • Photos and text overlapping, fighting for space
  • Dated design: construction tape, clip-art, low-res images
  • No quick answer to "what do they actually do?"

What gets escalated

  • Clean, visual-led, legible in under a minute
  • Immediately obvious what the firm specialises in
  • Evidence shown, not described: case studies, accreditations
  • Considered prose where it earns its place, not everywhere
  • Respects that the reader has no time to dig

Why BuaBuild

Bua means victory.

bua · noun · Irish · victory, a win

Better documents were never the goal. Winning the work is. The firms BuaBuild is built for already have the ability, they win on site every day. What lets them down is the document meant to prove it. We fix that.
