Oracle Preconstruction Overview
Oracle Preconstruction helps connect general contractors with the most qualified subcontractors for their projects.
In Preconstruction, individual contracts for each of the disciplines involved in each project are represented by tender packages.

One Application, Two Roles
Two kinds of users use Preconstruction: General contractors and subcontractors. General contractors create the tender packages, and subcontractors place the tenders. But that's not all they can do.
General contractors can—
- Maintain project documentation. Keep your plan drawings, contracts, scheduling documents, and all other important files organized with their corresponding projects and tender packages.
- Maintain a directory of subcontractors. As your organization builds relationships with subcontractors, keep information about them organized in one directory.
- Send invitations to tender. Create tender packages that represent contracts for all of the disciplines required on your projects, and then send invitations to tender on them to the subcontractors of your choice.
- Respond to subcontractor RFIs. As subcontractors review tender packages, they can use the application to send requests for information, and you can use it to respond to them.
- Review tenders and award contracts. Review tenders side-by-side in a convenient card layout for quick comparison, and then review details and attached documents for each. After subcontractors have submitted their tenders and you have reviewed them, award the tender packages.
- Send messages to subcontractors. Send general text-based messages with attachments to subcontractors.
Subcontractors can—
- Accept invitations to tender. You can receive invitations to tender by email. If you're not already using the application, you can set up a free account and place your tender.
- Review work requirements. When you receive an invitation to tender, you can view all of the information the general contractor made available for it. But if something's lacking...
- Submit RFIs. Need more information? Preconstruction has a built-in system to manage RFIs, which you can use to submit RFIs and get the information you need.
- Receive messages from general contractors. Receive general text-based messages with attachments from general contractors.
Premium Features for Subcontractors. Subcontractors with Premium access have additional capabilities.
By default, Preconstruction logs you out of the application after eight hours of inactivity.
