Demolition scope strips out the Level 6 riser — the asbestos survey never checked it and assumes asbestos

A compliance requirement the pack does not let you price or certify against.

RFI-002urgentTo: Principal / Superintendent

The Hazardous Materials Survey (§6.4) excluded the Level 6 services riser and presumes it contains ACM, yet the Demolition Scope (§4.6) requires demolition within that riser. Please confirm whether intrusive asbestos inspection and clearance of the Level 6 riser will be completed by the Principal prior to award, or is to be included in this tender.

The platform demo: a made-up $8.4M office refurbishment. One scanned survey couldn’t be read — and it says so.

It checks every document against the others. That’s where the expensive mistakes hide.

Nobody has time to cross-check 565 pages by hand before a tender closes. In the demo, 10 problems sit across 17 of its 24 documents. Pick one to see what each document says.

Drawings call for a fire-rated glazed partition — the spec gives the glass no fire rating

A-204 Partition types · p. 2Architectural spec · p. 142

Your firm, last time

You qualified an unrated glazing system on Marlowe Hotel. It was accepted.

A straight answer on the bid.

Whether to go for it, and what to sort out before you price. No made-up win odds.

CommonMind’s viewProceed with caution

Two documents disagree on scope, and a fire rating the drawings call up is absent from the specification.

Before you price

Qualify the unrated items and resolve the scope conflicts before pricing.

It tells you what it couldn’t read.

If a scan can’t be read, it says so. It never pretends to have read something it didn’t.

The questions estimators ask first.

How do I know it isn’t making things up?+

Every quote it shows is checked word for word against your document. If the words aren’t on that page, the finding is thrown out before you see it. It can’t tell you about a clause that isn’t there — the quote wouldn’t match.

What do I send you?+

The tender as you got it: specs, drawings, BOQ, contract, addenda, scans. Drag the whole folder in — no renaming, no sorting. Anything we can’t take comes back named, with the reason.

Will it tell me whether to bid?+

It gives you a straight answer in words, and says how much of the tender it could read. It won’t give you a win percentage — it refuses to make one up. A number like that looks official, would be fiction, and would make everything beside it harder to believe.

Is my tender data pooled with other contractors’?+

No. Your tenders are never pooled with another builder’s or shown to one. Only two things can ever count across firms, and each needs your firm’s own opt-in: the totals on our website (rounded down, published only once five firms that opted in are counted, never naming a firm), and patterns across at least five firms that opted in, shown only as counts. Both are off unless your admin switches them on, and your admin can switch either off at any time.

What does it cost?+

Your first tender is free. After that you pay per tender, not per person: buy tenders when you need them, by card or invoice, and nothing renews by itself. We’ll give you the price on a call rather than a made-up one on a web page.
