I’ve spent decades delivering complex projects: hospitals, post‑secondary buildings, long‑term care facilities, offices, and multi‑phased renovations in live, occupied environments. Over the years, I found that the biggest problems usually start long before construction begins. Now I focus on helping teams get ahead of risk before it becomes a conflict.

The PIF Pre‑Tender Risk Scan is a fast, structured review of your drawings, specs, and project documents before they go out for tender. It highlights gaps, conflicts, missing details, scope mismatches, and coordination issues that typically turn into RFIs, delays, and change orders. You receive a clear, prioritized summary of what needs attention before pricing begins.

I review your drawings, specs, and project documents through a structured lens that highlights the issues most likely to create RFIs, delays, and change orders. The scan focuses on:
•    Missing or unclear scope — items that aren’t defined, coordinated, or assigned.
•    Conflicts between drawings and specs — mismatches that create pricing uncertainty.
•    Coordination gaps — architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical elements that don’t align.
•    Incomplete details — missing dimensions, elevations, sections, or references.
•    Risk‑heavy assumptions — areas where bidders will guess, exclude, or pad pricing.
•    Tender‑stage vulnerabilities — anything that could trigger questions, disputes, or rework once pricing begins.

You receive a clear, prioritized summary of the issues most likely to affect pricing, coordination, and schedule once the project goes to tender. The report highlights what needs attention, why it matters, and where the risks sit within your drawings and specs. It gives your team a practical, estimator‑ready roadmap for tightening the package before it’s released.

Construction risk doesn’t start on site — it starts in the documents. Most RFIs, delays, and change orders can be traced back to unclear scope, missing details, or coordination gaps that were present long before tender. By tightening the package early, you reduce uncertainty, improve pricing accuracy, and give your team a smoother path through tender, award, and construction.

The PIF Pre‑Tender Risk Scan is designed for owners, project managers, and contractors who want fewer surprises once pricing begins. It’s especially useful for teams handling complex institutional and commercial projects where clarity, coordination, and scope definition are critical. If you want a tighter tender package and a smoother path through pricing and award, this scan is built for you.

The process is simple and designed to fit smoothly into your pre‑tender workflow:
1.    You send the drawings and specs — architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and any supporting documents.
2.    I complete the scan — reviewing the package through a structured lens that highlights gaps, conflicts, and coordination issues.
3.    You receive a clear, prioritized summary — outlining what needs attention before the tender goes out.
