Bid Document Risk Review

Know what's missing before you bid

The scope that isn't in the drawings is still yours to build. Get the list of everything the documents leave open — with the dollars attached — in time to price it, exclude it, or ask.

Read off the owner's own issued documents, the same set you already have. No prices, no advice on what to bid.

What you get, and what you don't

What lands in your inbox

  • Every drawing schedule reconciled and cross-checked between disciplines — doors, finishes, equipment, lighting, structural, panels.
  • Every specification section in the Table of Contents resolved to a priced line, an inclusion, or a named exclusion.
  • Every conflict between the drawings and the specification, with the verdict and the sheet it comes from.
  • An RFI log you can send to the owner as written, with the dollars at risk on each item.

What you won't get

  • Prices. This product does not tell you what to bid. You know your own costs better than we do.
  • Your competitors' positions. We never disclose who else on a bid list has ordered a review.
  • Guesswork dressed as fact. Where the documents are silent, the report says so and states what was assumed.

One job, one question, fifty-four thousand dollars

A real review of a real solicitation. Bids opened 21 August 2026.

SUNY Stony Brook · Student Activities Center Project 26/27-003MC ≈ $2.3M project · 540 calendar days

The project is titled ADA Compliant Main Lobby Entrance Vestibules. Twenty-four door leaves, two vestibules, a new curtain wall interface.

The electrical drawings call for a junction box for an automatic door opener at each vestibule, with power and low-voltage conduit landing on specific circuits. E-800 confirms two auto-door openers in the conduit bundle to each vestibule. The key note says to coordinate with the equipment vendor.

The architectural specification, 084113, describes the doors as manual-swing. The Table of Contents contains no automatic door operator section, no electrified hardware section, and no security section.

On a project named for ADA compliance, nothing in the bid documents says who furnishes the door operators.

Exposure ≈ $54,000  Every bidder on that job held the same documents and the same silence. The ones who caught it carried rough-in only and asked. The ones who didn't, guessed.

What the documents didn't tell anyone

Selected findings from that set. Every one cites the sheet or specification section you can check it against.
