FAQ
No. This is decision support from a construction-cost perspective. Your attorney should review any counterproposal before you send it — and every report is written so an attorney can verify each claim against the contract. We don't practice law, and nothing in the report should be treated as legal advice.
We still check scope overlap, vague items, and fair-market pricing. Most owners find their leverage there even without a written markup cap.
The contract — or the AIA forms if you're working under them — and the change order itself. If you have the original proposal, subcontractor quotes, or the approved schedule, send those too. More context means a tighter report.
Ninety minutes from submission to your report and counterproposal. Deliberately faster than your seven-day deadline.
Every report includes a negotiation playbook: the specific numbers to stand on, the contract sections that back them, and how to hold your position without slowing the project or inviting a lien dispute.
Yes. We sign NDAs on request. Your contract and change order are used only for your review and never shared.
