Comparing quotes from different trades is difficult when they don't itemize work consistently, leading to potential hidden costs and change orders.

Workarounds Described

• Lined them up by hand, item by item.
• Sent questions to each electrician, nine each.
• Suggested sending out their own item list for next job.

Implied Software Gaps

• Automated quote normalization tool that maps disparate line items to a unified bill of materials.
• Automated discrepancy detection and clarification request generation.
• Standardized tender creation tool that sends identical item lists to all bidders.
