Frequently asked questions
What is OFCI vs. CFCI?
OFCI = owner-furnished, contractor-installed. CFCI = contractor-furnished, contractor-installed. The equipment schedule designates which is which.
Why are equipment lead times a bid risk?
Imported kitchen and lab equipment routinely runs 12–20 weeks. Underquoting lead time delays substantial completion.
Can BidEngine extract equipment schedules?
Yes — it reads the equipment schedule and OFCI/CFCI designations from the spec automatically.
