Engineering that outruns procurement
Drawings revised after the order was placed turn into claims and rework.
Solutions · By industry
For EPC contractors: engineering, procurement and construction on one record
EPC work runs three businesses at once. BuildCore connects them: engineering documents reviewed and issued by transmittal, procurement from requisition to inspected receipt, and construction measured against the P6 schedule — with quality, safety and cost on the same record.

Where these projects lose time and money
Vendor documents lost in email
Data sheets and test certificates arrive in inboxes rather than the register.
Three versions of progress
Engineering, procurement and site each report progress their own way.
How BuildCore helps
What you'd use, and what it does
Engineering
- IDC reviews and automatic revision codes
- Transmittals with C1–C4 responses
- Change requests through to change notices
Procurement
- Material requisitions to sealed-bid RFQs
- Budget-checked POs and inspected goods receipt
- Landed cost and three-way matched invoices
Construction
- P6 XER import, look-ahead and Last Planner
- Daily progress reports and constraints
- Punch lists by stage, from construction to commissioning and handover
Commercial
- Budget from committed to actual
- Client and subcontract IPCs
- Variation orders linked to their source
In practice
One package, through E, P and C

2
Requisition
Material requisition raised from it.
3
Buy
Sealed-bid RFQ, then a budget-checked PO.
4
Receive
Inspected at the gate; rejections raise NCRs.
5
Build
Installed and reported in the DPR.
6
Hand over
Punch cleared, as-builts packaged.
Questions
Common questions
Yes. Every module is licensed on its own; most EPC teams start where their biggest gap is and add modules later.
Punch items carry a stage — construction, pre-commissioning, commissioning, PGTR and handover — so commissioning punch lists sit on the same register.
Yes. BuildCore can be deployed in the cloud, a private cloud or on your own servers.
