Common Procurement Tools

Frequently used tools for sourcing, communication, freight planning and procurement documents.

15 Tools

Find Suppliers

Supplier directories and sourcing platforms for building materials, products and manufacturers.

14 Resources

Supplier Verification & Inspection

Check companies, certificates, product approvals, inspection services and accredited laboratories.

16 Resources

Company records, certificates and inspection reports support due diligence but do not guarantee supplier performance.

RFQ, BOQ & Supplier Evaluation

Prepare quotation requests and material lists, clarify specifications, and evaluate suppliers with practical templates.

8 Resources

Adapt each template to the product specification, project requirements and supplier risk level before issuing an RFQ or award.

Material Calculators

Estimate concrete, paving, tile, installation materials and paint quantities using practical construction calculators.

8 Resources

Calculator results are estimates. Confirm project dimensions, waste allowances, pack sizes, product coverage and local requirements before purchasing materials.

Standards, Codes & Product Compliance

Search current standards, official code libraries, product approvals and environmental disclosure databases before specifying or purchasing building materials.

16 Resources
ISO Standards Search Search ISO standards by number and confirm edition, scope and current status. ASTM Standards Search Check ASTM building test methods, designations and active or historical editions. ICC Digital Codes Read US model building and energy codes, then verify local adoption and amendments. UK Approved Documents Download England’s current building-regulation guidance and archived editions. EU CPR Harmonised Standards Check construction-product standards supporting CE marking and declaration-of-performance pathways. Australia NCC Read Australia’s national technical building provisions, code volumes and amendments. New Zealand Building Code Compliance Find code clauses, Acceptable Solutions and Verification Methods with version status. Codes Canada Download Canada’s national model building, fire, plumbing and energy codes. EOTA ETA Database Find European Technical Assessments by product, holder or ETA number. Florida Product Approvals Check approved Florida models, code edition, HVHZ scope and limitations of use. Miami-Dade NOA Search Find HVHZ product approvals with impact, configuration and installation limits. CCMC Product Assessments Find Canadian code-compliance assessments and product installation conditions. CodeMark Australia Check active Australian certificates, product scope and applicable NCC provisions. International EPD Library Find valid construction-product EPDs, methodology details and downloadable declarations. HPD Public Repository Download building-product ingredient and hazard disclosure documents. ECHA Candidate List Search EU Candidate List substances for REACH supply-chain screening.

Standards and model codes do not automatically establish project compliance. Verify the adopted jurisdiction, exact product model, current report status, scope, installation conditions and contract requirements. EPDs and HPDs are disclosure documents, not product approvals or safety certifications.

Freight, Shipping & Import Duties

Estimate freight inputs, calculate shipment volume, check official tariff sources, and search carrier schedules or shipment tracking tools.

14 Resources

Freight prices may change before booking, and local charges, customs fees, duties, taxes or delivery may be excluded. Shipment volume does not prove container fit. Tariff searches are preliminary and do not replace binding classification advice. Schedules and ETAs may change, and AIS vessel positions do not confirm container status.

Contracts, Incoterms & Trade Risk

Compare delivery responsibilities, understand trade-payment instruments, access official contract resources, and screen restricted parties before contracting or payment.

14 Resources

Incoterms allocate delivery tasks, costs and risk but do not replace the sales contract. Banks may examine documents rather than goods, and model clauses require transaction-specific legal review. A sanctions no-match result is not transaction clearance: verify aliases, ownership, control, banks, vessels, end users and all applicable sanctions regimes.

Project Documents & Submittals

Store, control, review and track procurement documents, submittals, approvals and construction records.

12 Resources

Use a controlled folder structure, naming convention, revision status and access policy. Before relying on a document, confirm that it is the current approved version and that external sharing complies with your organisation’s confidentiality and data-retention rules. Electronic-signature requirements and legal effect vary by document type and jurisdiction.

Product Compliance & Certification

Verify product regulations, standards, certification records, testing reports and sustainability documentation.

14 Resources

Database records show only the published scope and status. Confirm the exact manufacturer, product or model, factory, standard edition, certificate or report dates and limitations against the target market and project requirements. EPD, FSC, PEFC and LEED documentation are not blanket product approvals.

Building Material Resources

Research building products, technical data, BIM content, material properties, visualization files and samples.

14 Resources

Aggregated product information, CAD/BIM files, textures and property tables are research aids rather than product approvals. Confirm current manufacturer datasheets, dimensions, performance, standards, availability, regional suitability and file licensing before specification or purchase. Sample access, account eligibility and delivery coverage may vary by platform and location.

AI & Productivity

Draft, research, analyze documents, capture meetings and automate repeatable procurement workflows.

14 Resources

AI-generated outputs may contain errors or omit important context. Verify prices, calculations, technical requirements, supplier claims, contractual terms and regulatory information before acting. Do not upload confidential pricing, personal data, supplier documents or project files unless your organisation permits it. Obtain appropriate consent before recording meetings, and keep human approval for payments, contractual commitments and external supplier communications.
