Automating Supplier Quote Comparison (RDO) in Construction
Every construction project runs the same question dozens of times — who do I buy this from? For materials, equipment rental and subcontracts, you request quotes from several suppliers (the RDO, request for quotation), wait for replies, line them up and choose. Done by hand, the supplier quote comparison is days of collecting and aligning heterogeneous PDFs per project — and decisions often get made on incomplete data.

Key points
- The RDO is the structured request sent to suppliers; the comparison lines up the returned offers to decide on price, lead time and terms — not just the lowest total.
- The real cost isn't comparing three offers — it's running dozens of RDOs in parallel per project, chasing replies across email and inconsistent PDFs.
- Automated: the RDO is generated from the bill-of-quantities demand, offers are normalized onto one grid (AI reads heterogeneous PDFs), and the comparison builds itself across price, time and terms.
- Supplier price history feeds back into unit price analysis, keeping estimates current.
