# BuildVision documentation

> Total coverage across every bid in your pipeline.

BuildVision gives manufacturer reps coverage across every bid in their pipeline.
It reads project documents, triages bids, drafts RFQs, and levels returned quotes
so you can compare them side by side.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect your sources">
    Point BuildVision at the email or document sources where bids already arrive.
  </Step>

  <Step title="It reads the documents">
    BuildVision reads mechanical and electrical equipment from drawings,
    specifications, and schedules. Each equipment record captures more than 38
    structured attributes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Equipment becomes packages">
    Extracted equipment is grouped into procurement packages by trade, system,
    and specification section.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Quotes come back comparable">
    BuildVision drafts and sends RFQs, then collects, normalizes, and levels the
    returned quotes for apples-to-apples comparison.
  </Step>
</Steps>
