Accessing RFQs Sent to Subtrades and Vendors

In Buildend, Requests for Quotation (RFQs) can be sent to subtrades and vendors as part of a Potential Change Request (PCR). You can easily track and manage these RFQs within the project.

Viewing RFQs

1. Navigate to the Project

   Go to the project where you want to access RFQs.

2. Open Potential Change Requests

   In the project tab, click Financials, then select Potential Change Requests.

3. Select the RFQ Tab

   Click on the RFQ tab. Here you will see a list of all RFQs from potential change requests within the project, along with their current statuses.

Reviewing Individual RFQs

• Click on the RFQ number or name to open an individual RFQ.

  You will see its status in the RFQ workflow, showing where it stands in the review process.

  If a subtrade or vendor has submitted a quotation, you will have two options:

  • Approve – Accept the quotation. The approved amount will automatically update the connected line item in the Schedule of Values of the potential change request.
  • Send Back with Comments – Return the quotation for revision, with notes or clarifications.

This feature helps you centralize the review and approval process for vendor and subcontractor pricing, ensuring that cost impacts flow directly into your potential change requests.
