摘要

A system and method for a computerized purchasing system. The design of products or projects consists of descriptions that are converted into a coded takeoff element(s). The elements are further defined by linked scopes of work descriptions and can include contract language. Contractor and vendor codes are linked to the system codes. Bids are requested in prescribed formats and when returned are processed into the coded takeoff elements. From the design coded takeoff elements and the returned bid data we get, pro-forma budgets, actual contracted budgets, automated reconfigurable billings, standardized product elements with unitized costs, automated pricing updates, and contracts.
