Analyse a construction bid or tender package for scope gaps, risk-shifting exclusions, unit-rate red flags, and front-loading in the schedule of values. Use when asked to review a bid, level bids, check a tender for gaps, compare sub quotes, or vet a schedule of values before award. Produces a structured bid review with a gap register, exclusion risk table, pricing red flags, and an award recommendation with pre-award clarifications.

Draft a defensible construction change order with entitlement basis, scope delta, itemised pricing, and schedule impact. Use when asked to write a change order, price extra work, draft a CO or COR/PCO, respond to a directive for changed work, or paper a field change. Produces a complete change order request with contract-clause entitlement, labour/material/equipment/OH&P breakdown, time impact statement, and reservation of rights.

Draft a construction delay notice or delay claim letter with contract clause citation, cause classification, and critical-path impact narrative. Use when asked to write a delay notice, put the owner or GC on notice of delay, draft a time extension request, respond to weather or owner-caused delay, or paper a delay for a claim. Produces a notice/claim letter with the excusable-compensable classification, critical-path impact narrative, quantum placeholder, reservation of rights, and a records-preservation list.

Turn walkthrough notes, photos, or voice-memo transcripts into a proper construction punch list with location, trade, and spec reference per item. Use when asked to build a punch list, clean up walkthrough notes, organise a deficiency list, prep for substantial completion, or track punch items to closeout. Produces a numbered punch list grouped by location with severity tiers, responsible subcontractor, back-charge candidates, and closeout/retainage linkage.

Produce a toolbox talk or pre-task safety briefing from the day's planned construction work. Use when asked to write a toolbox talk, prepare a pre-task plan or JHA/JSA briefing, brief a crew on today's hazards, or plan safety for a specific task like a crane pick, excavation, or hot work. Produces a crew-ready briefing with task-specific hazards, controls ordered by the hierarchy of controls, required permits, and explicit stop-work triggers.

Score a subcontractor's performance across schedule reliability, quality, safety, paperwork, and change-order behaviour with weighted anchors. Use when asked to evaluate a sub, build a subcontractor scorecard, decide whether to rebid or rehire a trade, review sub performance for prequalification, or justify removing a sub from the bid list. Produces a weighted scorecard with per-dimension anchored ratings, evidence notes, and an award/retention recommendation.
