A typical Jaipur contractor running three or four sites spends hours every week calling dealers, waiting for call-backs and noting rates on paper. Prices are then hard to compare because each quote is on a different basis. A request for quotation (RFQ) fixes this.
What a good RFQ contains
- Every item with grade, size and quantity.
- Delivery location, access limits and required dates.
- Whether you need a GST invoice, and your payment terms.
- What the quote must include: freight, unloading, test certificates.
Why it saves money
- Sellers quote on the same basis, so you compare the real cost.
- Bundling items gives sellers a reason to sharpen their price.
- You keep a written record of who offered what, which helps the next negotiation.
How it works on ATTPL Construction Supply
- Paste your BOQ or type items; the Smart BOQ reader fills lines for you to check.
- Our team reviews the requirement and shares it with verified sellers near your site, without your phone number.
- Quotes arrive in your dashboard with total, GST, freight, delivery days and validity side by side.
- Accept one and our team connects you to place the order.
Tip:Keep the RFQ specific. ‘Cement 500 bags’ gets vague answers; ‘PPC, any two of three named brands, 500 bags, delivered Mansarovar, unloading included, by 20 November’ gets usable quotes.
Frequently asked questions
Is posting an RFQ free?
Yes. Buyers never pay to post requirements or receive quotes.
Will many sellers call me?
No. Your number is not shared with sellers until you accept a quote or contact a seller yourself.
Can I send recurring requirements?
Yes. Repeat buyers can send a new RFQ for each lot; enterprise rate contracts are available on request.
