RFP Automation for Real Estate & Construction Companies

In real estate and construction, speed and accuracy determine who wins the bid. Whether you’re responding to development proposals, facilities contracts, capital improvement projects, or subcontractor qualification packets, every detail matters — and every deadline is tight.

Iris helps real estate firms, general contractors, specialty trades, and construction management teams automate RFPs, RFQs, and vendor questionnaires so they can respond faster, improve accuracy, and win more projects without adding headcount.

Why RFPs Slow Down Real Estate & Construction Teams

Real estate and construction RFPs often require:

  • Detailed scopes of work
  • Safety records and OSHA documentation
  • Insurance compliance and certifications
  • Project timelines and resource plans
  • Environmental and sustainability requirements
  • Past performance and references
  • Technical specs and engineering details

This creates recurring bottlenecks:

  • Searching old folders for boilerplate language
  • Manually reformatting complex proposal templates
  • Chasing SMEs for drawings, specs, and compliance info
  • Losing version control across long email chains
  • Copying outdated responses from prior bids

These delays make it harder to submit polished proposals on time — especially when clients expect quick, professional responses.
