How the integration works
Create your estimate in the Dindo app, share the documents and scope with your trades and suppliers a couple for accurate pricing.
Quote comparisons are linked so you can view quotes side-by-side and complete the process by ordering in BuiltGrid and signed contracts from trades and suppliers.
Go to the Dindo settings page and make the seamless connection between Dindo and BuiltGrid. This will allow you to synchronise job details, documents and trade scope without the double handling.
Open your job details page and add connect BuiltGrid in the integrations section. This activates the request for quote function in the trades page when doing estimates for this job. ‘Update BuiltGrid Project‘ is important when you change key information like address or status. ‘Send BuiltGrid Project Documents‘ will share the project documents which helps your suppliers quote more accurately or have the latest info on site..
After you have completed your take-off for a trade and have added all trade items, select the BuiltGrid logo icon to start the request for quote from the BuiltGrid supplier network.
Add a required date, and your supplier(s) that do the work and select ‘Next’.
Get the best responses from thousands of trades and suppliers in the BuiltGrid network by selecting one or more jobs that appear in this job list that most closely match your quote request. Then select ‘Send to BuiltGrid’.
Trades and suppliers will respond with quotes and this will be indicated in the left hand menu of the Dindo trades page. Simply click to select the trade in the left hand menu you wish to see quotes and select the BuiltGrid logo you originally used to create the request for quote. A quote comparison will open like the above showing supplier submissions side-by-side with links to shared documents.
Orders are placed in the BuiltGrid straight from the quote comparison page. All you need to do is select how you will be paying and the esitmated schedule date for the work to be done. You can move accordingly closer to the date within the supplier’s lead times window. Trades and suppliers sign the order online which generates a contract for you and the suppliers that includes the original scope, quote, payment terms and schedule. Both parties have a clear understanding of the work to be conducted so there will be less disputes and timely payments.
