TruBuild is a procurement control plane for construction tenders. It gives enterprise teams one governed workspace for package setup, contractor documents, commercial rounds, technical rounds, clarification management, AI-assisted analysis, and award evidence. The product is designed for teams where the decision has to stand up to internal governance, owner review, and future audit. AI accelerates extraction, drafting, comparison, and summarization, but humans still review, override, approve, and own the final award recommendation.

Technical evaluation teamsManage criteria, review AI-drafted scoring, record overrides, assess clarification impact
Tender query coordinatorsImport questions, assign responders, draft responses, check consistency, generate circulars and response packs
AdministratorsManage organizations, members, project access, package access, feature entitlements, and operational controls

​
The enterprise model

TruBuild mirrors the structure of a tender program: 
Organization
  Project
    Package
      Contractors
      Commercial evaluation rounds
      Technical evaluation rounds
      Tender queries and clarification responses
      Award decision
A project is usually a development, capital project, or program. A package is a tender package inside that project. Each package carries its own contractors, technical/commercial weighting, role assignments, documents, commercial rounds, technical rounds, and award decision.

​
What TruBuild helps you control

Evaluation basis

Package weights, contractor lists, reference documents, criteria, commercial round names, and technical round names are explicit instead of scattered across files.

Document quality

Uploads are categorized by workflow, contractor, package, asset, stage, and round so evaluators know what was used.

Commercial risk

Commercial teams review totals, spreads, exclusions, unpriced lines, arithmetic checks, and contractor-specific PTCs.

Technical judgment

Technical teams work from criteria, scored contractor responses, reviewer edits, and clarification impact decisions.

Clarifications

Queries move through statuses from pending to closed, with assignment, approval, response text, duplicate handling, and circular generation.

Award evidence

The final selected contractor is supported by package weights, latest reviewed commercial and technical rounds, comments, queries, and exports.

​
What TruBuild is not

  • Not an e-tendering portal. Contractors do not need to log into TruBuild. You can receive submissions through email, procurement portals, or data rooms, then upload them.
  • Not an ERP or finance system. TruBuild supports the evaluation and award record before handoff to ERP, procurement, or contract administration systems.
  • Not a replacement for evaluator judgment. AI output is draft evidence. Evaluators accept, edit, override, or reject it.
  • Not a general document repository. It stores tender evidence, but the structure is optimized for procurement workflows, not enterprise document management.
