Tendering and reporting in OpenConstructionERP: prepare tender BOQs, compare bids, manage risks, and generate reports (weekly, monthly, closeout).

  • Works in 5 steps: Prepare the tender BOQ — from the… → Issue to bidders — track who received,… → Bid comparison — normalize bids to the… → …

  • SKILL.md covers Tendering workflow, Risk management, Report generation and API patterns, plus 1 more section

What it does

Oce Tendering is an agent skill from datadrivenconstruction/DDC_Skills_for_AI_Agents_in_Construction. Tendering and reporting in OpenConstructionERP: prepare tender BOQs, compare bids, manage risks, and generate reports (weekly, monthly, closeout). Use when a project goes to tender or needs reporting.

Its SKILL.md is about 500 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: 221 AI skills for construction: BIM analysis, cost estimation, scheduling, document control, and automation with Claude Code. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A project goes to tender
  • Needs reporting

Example prompts

  • “/oce-tendering”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Prepare the tender BOQ — from the estimate (see oce-estimate-boq), export GAEB X83/X84 for the market.
  2. Issue to bidders — track who received, who responded, deadlines.
  3. Bid comparison — normalize bids to the BOQ structure (same items, same units), compare line-by-line and totals; flag outliers per line.
  4. Risk review — attach risks (cost, schedule, contractual) to BOQ sections; score likelihood × impact.
  5. Award — convert the winning bid to the contract baseline (BOQ + schedule freeze).

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ce45bbf. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are http).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Oce Tendering loads about 497 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 201 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~497

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Tendering, Risk & Reporting in OpenConstructionERP

Tendering workflow

  1. Prepare the tender BOQ — from the estimate (see oce-estimate-boq), export GAEB X83/X84 for the market.
  2. Issue to bidders — track who received, who responded, deadlines.
  3. Bid comparison — normalize bids to the BOQ structure (same items, same units), compare line-by-line and totals; flag outliers per line.
  4. Risk review — attach risks (cost, schedule, contractual) to BOQ sections; score likelihood × impact.
  5. Award — convert the winning bid to the contract baseline (BOQ + schedule freeze).

Risk management

  • Risk register per project: description, owner, probability, impact, mitigation, status.
  • Risks linked to BOQ lines and tasks — a risk accepted changes the estimate and schedule together.
  • Reports: top risks, exposure (risk × contingency), trend.

Report generation

ReportFrequencyContent
Weekly progressweeklydone vs planned, issues, photos, punch stats
Monthly costmonthlybudget vs actual per section, forecast
Cash-flow forecastmonthlyschedule × cost roll-up
Closeoutat completionas-built BOQ, punch closeout, docs

API patterns

http
GET  /api/v1/boqs/{id}/export?format=gaeb    # tender export
POST /api/v1/risks/                          # risk register
GET  /api/v1/reports/...                     # report endpoints (module-specific)

Best practices

  1. Freeze the tender BOQ version — compare bids against the SAME structure.
  2. Normalize currencies before comparing bids (never blend).
  3. Track bidder clarifications (RFIs) in the tender record, not in email.
  4. Keep the risk register alive: review weekly, close or escalate.
