Data-Driven Weather Allowances for Tenders

Stop guessing how many weather days to include in your bid. WeatherWise calculates precise, defensible weather allowances using 45+ years of site-specific climate data. Bid tighter. Win more.

Weather Allowances Based on Guesswork Cost You Bids

Contractors include weather allowances in tenders based on experience and rules of thumb. Too generous and your bid is uncompetitive. Too tight and you face cost overruns if you win. Either way, you lose.

The problem is that without site-specific data, there is no way to know the right number. Every estimator on your team will come up with a different figure for the same project.

How It Works

Four steps from site coordinates to data-backed weather allowances for your tender.

1

Enter Site Coordinates

Drop a pin or enter coordinates for your bid site. WeatherWise pulls 45+ years of climate data for that exact location.

2

Define Activities & Thresholds

Specify your planned activities and the weather conditions that would stop each one. Use built-in defaults or customise to your specifications.

3

Calculate Weather Days

WeatherWise calculates expected weather days for each activity, broken down by month, so you know exactly what to include in your bid.

4

Export Allowance Tables

Export professional summary reports and allowance tables for your tender submission. Data-backed figures your client can trust.

Key Features

Everything you need to build defensible weather allowances into your construction tenders.

Site-Specific Historical Analysis

Weather allowances based on 45+ years of ERA-5 climate data at your exact project coordinates. No regional averages or generic assumptions.

Activity-Level Granularity

Different activities have different weather sensitivities. Get weather day counts specific to crane lifts, earthworks, concrete pours, and every other activity in your programme.

Monthly & Seasonal Breakdown

See how weather risk varies month by month at your site. Plan critical activities around the windows that offer the best conditions and price accordingly.

Multi-Location Comparison

Tendering for multiple projects? Run analyses for all bid sites simultaneously and compare expected weather days across locations side by side.

Climate Change Adjustment

Historical patterns are weighted to reflect current and near-future conditions. Your weather allowances account for how the climate has changed, not just how it used to be.

Exportable Summary Reports

Generate professional PDF reports showing your weather allowance methodology and data sources. Designed to be shared with clients as part of your tender submission.
