Tender review and pricing
Read the specifications, drawings and contract together. Assemble the scope, apply your rates and flag the gaps and risks before you submit.
Before you price it
A gap in the scope becomes a question.
The same tender can describe an obligation in one document and leave its quantity out of another. Bring the two together before the assumption becomes a price.

- 01
Read the requirement
The specification includes service penetrations. Its wording stays attached to the scope item.
- 02
Check the quantity source
The schedule lists ductwork, screens and access hatches. It does not quantify fire stopping.
- 03
Keep the assumption visible
Create a clarification for estimating. Price the confirmed items and leave this amount open.

Questions
What people ask about tender review and pricing.
Can we check where a quantity or requirement came from?
Yes. Extracted values link to the source passage so your team can check them. This example uses quantities supplied in a tender schedule; it does not assume an automatic drawing takeoff.
Can we use our own rates and scope?
Yes. The app can be built around your process, data and rules. Your estimating team sets the rate book, scope fields and review steps.
Do we have to build the app ourselves?
No. We can map your process, build the workflows and the app, and hand your team something ready to use. Your team can change it later or ask us to.
Can we change the fields and review steps?
Yes. Describe what you need to the Assistant. It can change workflows and apps, with every change shown for your approval.
Is our project data used to train models?
No. Your documents and results are never used to train a model, and a data processing addendum backs that.
Which document-heavy job would you hand over first?
Bring one process you want to improve and the information behind it. We build the first version with you in the session, so the first thing you see is your own work, running.
