TenderScope Pre-Tender Design Review · For QSs, architects & engineers

Issue a cleaner tender.

Reduce RFIs, pricing qualifications and tender ambiguity before contractors receive the package. We check your BOQ, drawings and specification against each other and list the issues to fix before issue, each with its document and location.

What we check

  • Items on the drawings that are not in the BOQ
  • Quantities that don't follow from the take-off, and splits that don't add up
  • Wrong units, items in the wrong bill, the same area measured twice
  • Descriptions that contradict the drawings or specification
  • Missing or repeated pages, referenced documents not supplied
  • VAT, wastage and provisional items stated wrongly
  • Specialist-trade gaps: wet-area heights, upturns, outlets, nosings, smoothing layers, moisture limits

What you send

Your draft BOQ, drawings and specification. Excel BOQs are best: the quantity and unit checks run on them directly. Scanned PDFs are fine too.

What you get

  • Pre-tender coordination report: issues to fix before issue, with locations
  • Drawing, specification and BOQ discrepancies
  • Missing details and ambiguous requirements
  • Excel register to track the fixes
  • Corrections schedule for the design team

This is an AI-assisted document coordination review, checked by an experienced person. It does not replace professional design review, and decisions on the documents stay with the design team.

Found in real tenders

  • Shower and bath walls measured only 300 mm high in an 11-unit housing project.
  • Balcony waterproofing shown on the sections but not billed.
  • Self-smoothing epoxy billed on walls in a paint bill.
  • A BOQ page missing from a shopping-mall tender.

Questions

Does this replace my own checks?

No. It is a second pair of eyes before issue. You stay responsible for the documents; we list issues with their location so you can decide.

Which trades do you check?

Every bill gets the general checks. The detailed trade rules cover waterproofing, flooring, resin and coatings, where most specialist claims start.

Is it confidential?

Yes. Documents are stored privately and used only for your check. They are deleted 90 days after delivery unless you ask us to keep them on file, and sooner whenever you ask. An NDA is available.

How long does it take?

Usually 2 to 3 working days, depending on the size of the package.
