How To Request Requirements

Once you complete your list of Requirements, it's time to request them from your Subcontractors. With Buildr, you can send an email to all subcontractors who will be submitting requirements.

Lastly, add a message to your subcontractors, attach relevant documents and template(s), and click Send to request your Requirements:

Note: Once Requirements are requested, Buildr will automatically send email reminders to your subcontractors every Monday until all documents are submitted. To stop automated reminders, change the Requirement status from Requested to Draft.
