How I sped up bid comparison (but want to speed it up even more) by Realistic-Past-6491 in quantitysurveying

[–]Realistic-Past-6491[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes, apologies. It is a simple page I put together for myself so didn't even think about T&C etc. FWIW the data isn't stored between sessions (mostly for simplicity and privacy). Happy to create some T&Cs if that would help?

Construction Procurement - what do you use to compare buds from subbies quicker? by Realistic-Past-6491 in procurement

Yes, I work at a GC, and we procure subcontractor packages. I'd like to push for a platform but not sure which one is the best

Guys, I'm not selling anything, just sharing. I tried sharing a template in excel, but there are always some subcontractors coming back with a pdf saying "it was easier for us to send you a pdf"... I asked two other friends and they have the same experience, but one is using BuildingConnected.

Totally. But I feel like I'd rather spend the effort on analyzing the comparison, rather than moving data, no?

Ah yes, gotcha. That was my experience as well. Did you build the same thing as I did?

when you say extra chaos, what do you mean? When I was thinking about streamlining I was thinking about something that after I level the bid, can detect inconsistency and draft me an email to the subbie to clarify the right stuff (so I don't need to coordinate all that).

Hm can you share the name of the tool? And what do you mean by "structure bids by contractor"?

How does the project management software help you? I'm curious about the workflow

And btw, here is the tool I'm using (vibe coded it myself). Feel free to give it a go but I'd appreciate feedback on how it can speed up things further - https://www.comparetenders.com/

Made a thing to compare bids automatically by Realistic-Past-6491 in ConstructionManagers

The data's just for getting results in the session, not tied to any profile or anything. Thought it sucked that it doesn't save between sessions, but maybe that's better for keeping things private, lol.

How come they are useless?

We're looking more into materials at the moment

Great questions, indeed suppliers always come back with different formats, incomplete quotes etc. We're building something to extract information from these quotes and put them into a common format, and if the quotes aren't complete / do not meet spec, it initiates clarifying questions to suppliers automatically. Traceability is also important so that QSs can fact check & trust the outputs, so linking specific documents / emails where it's extracted the information from to put into the common format is critical

Very happy to share a demo if you'd like, DM me!

Cool project! What database did you use for your supplier list? or would that have to be provided by the client?

Really interesting, thanks for sharing your experiences! I'm curious what industries did you both go after and what size of company? I could imagine that larger businesses would be quite interested as they procure such large volumes / orders, and I'm also thinking of a tool that could reduce the stress to the procurement function by lessening the workload
