How BUILD works

BUILD is a project ecosystem. Whether you're building a house, sourcing a truckload of cement, or offering your trade — here's exactly what to do, and how every workflow fits together.

BUILD · Construction Projects

What is this?

A project ecosystem — materials, equipment, services, contractors and execution, around your construction project.

How does it work?

Create a project → build a BOQ → source materials & contractors → RFQ → award → delivery → execution → milestones → completion.

Example

Build a house from one connected flow; or just buy cement via Direct Buy, RFQ, or Add to Project.

Best practice

Real specs, real certifications, honest timelines. Add lines to a BOQ so quotes compute correctly.

Common mistakes

  • Fake certifications or specs
  • Over-claiming project suitability
  • Missing consumption/coverage figures
