Specs Matched. Quote Drafted. You Review.

A bid lands. The specs are read, your line card matched, and a quote drafted. You review it, adjust if needed, and send. Minutes instead of hours.

How it works for reps

A bid comes in from BuildingConnected, your inbox, or a plan room. BuildVision reads the specs and pulls out the equipment relevant to your catalog. It drafts a quote with pricing from your last similar project.

You review the quote, check the margins, make any adjustments, and send it back. If the spec calls for alternates, those are flagged separately so you can decide whether to bid them.

Your line card matched to the spec

  • Specs parsed for equipment relevant to your catalog
  • Quantities and model numbers captured
  • Alternates identified and flagged separately
  • Every item traces back to the source page in the bid docs

Quote drafted before you finish coffee

  • Quote pulled from your pricing and past projects
  • Lead times and delivery terms included

You know where you stand against the BOD

  • Your quote mapped against the engineer's basis of design
  • Alternates clearly marked with cost deltas
  • Compliance gaps flagged before you submit

Before

Spec lands. You read 200 pages. Find the equipment. Open the pricing tool. Build the quote. 4 hours if you're fast.

With BuildVision

Spec lands. Equipment extracted. Line card matched. Quote drafted. You review and send. 10 minutes.

Built for MEP equipment procurement

Specs change with addenda. Engineers spec by brand and model. Alternates require evaluation against design intent. Lead times affect project schedules.

BuildVision was built on MEP spec documents, not adapted from generic procurement software.

It gets smarter on every project

BuildVision remembers which suppliers respond quickly, which specs contain contradictions, and which products your team prefers.

New projects start with everything you have learned. The knowledge stays with the firm.

FAQ

How does it read the bid specs?

A bid arrives from BuildingConnected, your inbox, or a plan room. BuildVision reads the specs, pulls out the equipment relevant to your line card, and flags what matches your catalog. You don't type anything.

What does it extract?

Equipment types, model numbers, quantities, and spec requirements from the bid documents. Each item traced back to the source page so you can verify it against the original.

How does it draft the quote?

BuildVision pulls pricing from your past projects and catalog, assembles the quote with lead times and compliance notes, and puts it in front of you for review. You adjust margins, check the numbers, and send.

What types of equipment does it handle?

MEP equipment for commercial construction: HVAC systems, chillers, boilers, pumps, air handling units, switchgear, transformers, generators, plumbing fixtures. Each item captured with 38+ structured attributes.

How is this different from a spreadsheet?

With a spreadsheet, you read the specs yourself, manually match equipment to your catalog, look up pricing, and type out the quote. You still decide what matches and what ships. BuildVision pre-reads the specs so you start from a structured list, not a blank page.
