        abstract = {Purpose-The construction industry in India faces difficulties in procurement process due to manual efforts applied by Builders and Retailers resulting in bad quality product and frauds. There are also mediators which plays important role in procurement process and that is one of the reasons which creates trust and quality issues. Retailers face difficulties in finding nearby construction sites as there is no proper application providing information about nearby construction sites.
Design/Methodology/Approach
BUILDINFII is a conceptual web application which is developed to solve this problem. It provides map-based service to both Builders and Retailers. A field study and Interviews were performed to do research and knowing root problems and finding effective Solution.  Technologies used are Flutter, Firebase [ firestore, storage, authentication] for text data and PDF storage, EmailJS for real-time email service.
Findings
Builders can register their sites adding required list of materials and that construction site will get pinned on map which Retailers can view. Retailers can provide estimates in PDF format navigating nearby sites on map with real-time email service. Builders can add or remove sites whenever required and similarly Retailers can add or remove Estimate Data. Findings highlight the potential to connect Builders directly with Retailers which will streamline the procurement process and it will result into best quality construction and will improve Builder-Retailer relationship. 
Originality/value
BUILDINFII provides a strong platform for builders to procure best quality products at best price and increases transparency and for Retailers to view nearby sites and its requirements and provide estimates in PDF format.PDF format is used for Builder’s ease as it helps to view multiple estimates from different retailers easily.},
