Bid requests

The job pressure

RFQs scatter across email — nobody knows who was invited or which docs they saw.

Commercial and multi-trade win-the-job RFQ/award workflows

On the job

Construction bid management falls apart when every trade sees a different document set. EstiLumina issues an RFQ from the job vault and specs, then freezes that package so later file edits cannot quietly change what vendors quoted.

Each trade gets a private portal link. Sent versus received rows show who still owes a number. Level against the low, cherry-pick lines when needed, and award once — the PO commitment and Job Home update together without a double-entry.

That is how mid-market GCs keep RFQ-to-award honest: one frozen package, one award path, one money spine into budget and actuals.

How it works

1. 1

   Build a multi-trade RFQ package from the job vault and specs.

2. 2

   Issue freezes a package snapshot and creates signed invite links per trade.

3. 3

   Track sent vs received quote rows and level against the low.

4. 4

   Award once — commitment and Home update together.

What you get

• Multi-trade RFQ with vault + specs package
• Issued packages are frozen — later vault edits never change what trades saw
• Private bid portal link per trade
• Level quotes against the low bid and cherry-pick lines
• Award writes the PO commitment once — no duplicates, even on a double click

Why teams subscribe

• Trades quote the same frozen package you issued
• Sent vs received rows show who still owes a number
• Award writes the PO commitment without a second entry

Honest boundaries

• Not an open public bid board for the whole market.
• Not a promise that every trade already has an account before you invite them.
