Construction procurement: requests, orders and deliveries
Project procurement connects materials and subcontract commitments to required-by dates, approved budgets and receiving records.
Request the right materials
Specify item, size, quantity, project, needed date and approved substitute policy before sending supplier requests.
Compare scope as well as price
Check freight, lead times, exclusions and returns, not just unit cost. Purchasing decisions should be recorded against the applicable project.
Close the delivery loop
Verify received quantities and outstanding items against approved purchase orders so the field and office share the same status.
